Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake (BSFB) is expanding its all-makes aftermarket portfolio with Bendix air disc brake pads and rotors.
The launch is designed to further support the increasing number of fleets and owner-operators equipping air disc brakes for their stopping power and maintenance advantages. Bendix air disc brake components deliver reliable performance in a wide range of operating conditions, backed by warranty and post-sales support, the company says.
“More than one in three North American new builds for Class 6-8 air-braked wheel ends is now equipped with ADBs, and our own Bendix ADB22X accounts for about 80 percent of that share,” says Keith McComsey, BSFB director, marketing and customer solutions. “Now, fleets running on other ADB systems can also look to Bendix for high-quality pads and rotors that meet their needs and fit their budgets.”
Bendix wheel end all makes offerings include pads and rotors for Meritor, WABCO and Haldex OE brake systems, all aftermarket-engineering approved and supported by a one-year warranty. Bendix aftermarket parts are available through more than 4,400 Bendix channel partners across North America.
BSFB produces the full lineup of commercially available Bendix brand foundation drum brakes, along with its ADB22X air disc brake solutions for tractors and trailers at its Bowling Green, Ky., wheel end facility. The company has continued to invest in production capacity and equipment at the site as part of BSFB’s commitment to optimize its manufacturing operations, the company says.
The Bendix ADB all-makes friction portfolio provides premium aftermarket friction that uses a proprietary formulation and is compliant with forthcoming 2021 copper (Level B) requirements. Product coverage includes all Meritor and Haldex air disc brake configurations, along with WABCO PAN, MAXXUS and MAXX22T. The pads are FMVSS-121 certified, meet Bendix’s rotor cracking requirements and include a replacement hardware kit with high-quality pad retainer springs and shear adaptors.
All Makes by Bendix CVS air disc brake rotors meet or exceed Bendix heat crack testing criteria and provide the most complete rotor coverage in the North American industry. Bendix All Makes rotors are available for Meritor and WABCO, the company says.
