Bendix will display its extensive range of commercial vehicle friction products at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show, including disc brake pads, brake shoes and brake linings from its ProTrans and ProTrans HD ranges.
The Bendix ProTrans Disc Pad range feature advanced surface technology leading to high temperature resistance and reduced wear rates, which all contribute to high-performance braking while reducing running costs. Bendix pads provide a strong, predictable friction level regardless of the temperature, speed or axle load. And with their titanium bedding-in technology, drivers enjoy a positive pedal feel right from new.
The range also meets ECE Regulation 90 (ECE-R90). This measure specifies the design, construction, performance requirements and test protocols for strict European regulations; this includes testing for braking capabilities, speed sensitivity, cold performance and other parameters. A further advantage is reduced brake noise, while workshops will also appreciate the easy installation aspects of the product.
Also on show will be brake shoe kits and special heavy-duty ProTrans HD Disc Pads for trucks working in extreme applications such as refuse collection.
The Bendix commercial vehicle range comprises disc brake pads, brake shoes and brake linings, with options available to suit a wide variety of trucks including Japanese, North American and European makes and models. Image: BendixLocally tested using unique Bendix truck dyno
Bendix’s commercial vehicle range was developed using Bendix’s unique to Australia truck brake dynamometer. The machine is used to test new friction materials and to conduct compliance, performance and brake wear trials. It’s capable of testing the braking requirements of most large road-going vehicles, from oversized four-wheel-drives to road-train prime movers – it can even simulate axle loads of up to 20 tonnes.
Other features of the dynamometer include an adjustable air-cooling system to replicate the airflow of real-world operating conditions.
Expert advice
The Bendix stand will be staffed by product experts who will be available to explain the features and benefits of the Bendix range in more detail and offer product advice for owner drivers, major fleets, or anyone in between.
Visit stand 274 at the Brisbane Truck Show from May 15 to 18, at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
