Bendix Air Disc Brakes

Optimum Performance. Optimum Engineering.

Bendix has pulled out all the stops on this one.

Bendix®

™

ADB22X

air disc brakes

– advanced

braking technology

from the Industry

Leader.

With all that we’ve designed into our Bendix® ADB22X™ air disc brakes,

it’s no wonder they’re the choice of leading OEs. They provide surer, safer

stops. They require less maintenance, deliver longer pad and rotor life, and

they cut service time in half – all of which adds up to less truck downtime,

and a healthy return on investment.

What’s more, their braking feel is like that of a passenger car, with virtually

no brake fade. Tough and reliable, they were tested on America’s ultimate

braking challenge – Colorado’s I-70 west of the Eisenhower Tunnel.

Over an 8-mile stretch on a 7% grade, there was no degradation in

stopping power.

But then, this is the kind of advanced technology that so many have come

to expect from Bendix. With over 25 million Bendix brakes in service

worldwide, a full range of commercial vehicles ride with conﬁ dence.

After more than 85 years of pioneering expertise and innovation, you know

you can depend on us to safely lead the way.

New stopping-distance regulations are in effect, and we’re happy to report Bendix comes up short.

In fact, vehicles equipped with Bendix® ADB22X™ air disc brakes stop a whopping 40% shorter than government requirements:

Technology designed to create the perfect stop.

Bendix air disc brakes have a two-pin ﬂ oating caliper design that provides more stringent overall dimensional accuracy and consistent force distribution. These advancements, as well as a specially designed 17-inch rotor coupled with proprietary friction material, provides the ADB22X model with many advantages over other air disc and drum brakes:

The Bendix Air Disc Advantage

Exceeds all Federally Mandated requirements for Reduced Stopping Distance

Shorter Stops

Superior Performance

Lower Maintenance

Light Weight Design Optimization

Better Braking Feel

Safety Greater braking power can result in fewer accidents

Mono-block Construction

Dual Pistons Even force distribution, more even pad wear, reduced heat, noise elimination

Two-pin Design More stringent overall dimensional accuracy, uses fewer components

Longer Lining Life Compared to drum brake applications

Sealed Design

Quick Pad Changes Quick change pads – 15 minutes per brake (with wheels off)

Three Available Conﬁ gurations

Signiﬁ cantly shorter stops in demanding applications than even the best drum brake designs

Passenger car like feel

Improved side to side brake consistency

More compact than two-piece caliper models. Offers better sealing (and better protection) from environmental elements

Sealed design, no periodic lube required

Sealed reliable, integrated automatic brake adjustment

Optimizes pad and rotor service life to help reduce maintenance costs and downtime

Weight comparable to high performance larger (16.5”) front drum brakes

Patented splined rotor design with Aluminum Hubs for optimized weight

Lightest dual piston air disc brake available

What can’t be

measured is the

value derived from the peace of mind of your

drivers, who

know that with

Bendix

air disc

brakes, they’ll

always have

the braking

force needed to

stop safely or

negotiate

a grade.
