air disc brakes –

braking technology

and driver peace of mind 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 OEMs and ﬂeets alike. They provide surer, safer stops. They require less maintenance, and last longer – typically twice the lining life, four times the 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, the braking feel of the ADB22X unit 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 20 million air disc brakes in service worldwide, a full range of commercial vehicles ride with conﬁdence. With over 80 years of pioneering expertise and innovation, you know you can depend on us to safely lead the way.

The stopping-distance regulation is here, 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 ﬂoating 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:
