PROVIDING SUPERIOR SOLUTIONS
FOR INCREASED SAFETY AND
LOWER COST PER MILE
The brake system you choose can make the difference between
a trailer that makes money and one that sits idle in a service bay.
At Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Bendix Spicer
Foundation Brake LLC, we see what you see. A world filled with
competitive challenges for those who build, purchase, manage
and service the trailers which keep North America’s goods
moving safely and efficiently.

products and services is designed for performance, reliability
and maximum value. Each Bendix part is rigorously tested,
backed by a powerful warranty and engineered to help keep
your brake system in spec.
Bendix goes far beyond simply offering the critical braking

delivers a complete, integrated system that helps to keep
trailers where they need to be and takes your business where
you want it to go.

performance with fewer components to install and
connections to make, which means greater reliability on
your vehicle, including integral 5-pin and sensor connections. And Bendix®TABS-6 includes the patented “Select
Smart™” control technology as well as Auxiliary Design

Reliable, durable performance you can count on.
Bendix offers two options to meet the complete range of
trailer spring brake valve needs. Both products are the
result of precision engineering and design that provide
superior performance in the presence of air line contaminants commonly found in trailer systems. Both are built to
withstand temperatures as low as -50 degrees F. And both
have an anti-compounding feature to provide increased
robustness and improved failure detection by audibly
exhausting air through the tractor protection valve at the
back of the cab.

our premium option. This industry
leader delivers fast, reliable
performance under extreme
conditions. Push the trailer
park brake release button, and
the trailer is ready to move
when the driver shifts into gear.
The speed of release prevents
dragging tires and additional strain on your tractor's drive
train. The SR-5 relay based design makes it the fastest
performing trailer valve available anywhere.

High capacity air flow. Durable Bendix performance.
For multi-axle trailers
equipped with air suspensions, Bendix now offers
the patent pending
SDS-9600™Trailer Suspension
Dump Valve. Working with our
Bendix®TABS-6 Trailer ABS, the
SDS-9600™valve supplies a full federal-regulationapproved axle dump system that dumps air out of the rear
axle suspension of spread axle trailers, helping to prevent
damage to tires and suspension components during slow
speed turns. The SDS-9600™valve is designed to dump the
axle bags effectively, while consuming no additional air
during normal driving. This powerful new addition to the
Bendix valve line replaces the need for three separate
valves mounted on the trailer, which means simplified
installation and plumbing. The Bendix®SDS-9600™valve is
capable of delivering high capacity air flow on both dump
and fill, enabling quick suspension air exhaust and recharging. When dumping air from the system the valve holds a
minimal pressure, protecting the suspension components
from potential damage.
