BENDIX BW7514 User Manual

All foundation brakes are designed to convert kinetic energy (energy of motion) into heat and work (to stop the vehicle).
Air disc brakes work the same way and in everyday operation — compared to drum brakes — will produce higher braking temperatures and cool off faster. Also, air disc brakes will often have differences in temperatures at wheel ends on the same axle. The actual
temperatures reached will depend on the vehicle conguration, vocation and brake usage.
This document is intended to help technicians identify instances where an individual wheel end has evidence of thermal overload, and check for potential causes.
SECTION ONE: Inspect the Vehicle
Question One:
Do any of the rotors have bright orange or red color edges? Check the box(es) on the vehicle diagram to the right for any found.
Normal Evidence of thermal overload
Question Two:
Are any of the calipers coated with a bright orange or red colored dust? Check the box(es) on the vehicle diagram to the right for any found.

This is not a single wheel end
Thermal Overload event.
When both ends of an axle are
affected, a thorough brake system
diagnosis is needed, as other
factors — such as brake balance,
overloaded vehicles, or extreme
use — are more likely the source.
Go to Section Two (over)
NO
In cases where more than one wheel end is affected — but on different axles — complete a separate checklist for each brake being examined.
SECTION TWO: Investigate Other Potential External Causes
• Follow all Safe Maintenance Practices (see nal page.)
Inspect the brake pads.
(New pads have 21 mm of brake pad, plus a 9 mm backing plate.)
Is
there
2 mm, or less, of
YES
brake pad friction
material?*
NO
Replace the pads (axle set recommended)
after performing all Section Two inspections.
(Not a Thermal Overload warranty condition.)
*2 mm of friction material, plus a 9 mm backing plate, for a total of 11 mm.
Inspect the caliper
Inspect the air hoses (“jounce lines”).
Push/pull
by hand to check the
caliper movement [at least 0.75 Inch
(20 mm) with the
pads removed]
Does
the brake
caliper have
restricted movement in
YES
the inboard/outboard
direction?
NO
Is air trapped in the hose?**
Do the hose(s) pull or push on the caliper? (It is
important that the hoses permit the lateral motion of the caliper, the vertical motion of the suspension, and — for steering axles — the full turn of the wheels.)
Are there any kinks, restrictions?
Are the hoses in good condition?
Complete this
step on level ground, with the wheels chocked
and the parking
brake temporarily
released!
Service the guide pins.
Perform all Section Two inspections.
(Not a Thermal Overload warranty condition.)
**Take full safety precautions during the inspection for trapped air, to avoid the air hose whipping if air pressure is found to be trapped. Conditions that might cause trapped air include kinked lines, or when an ABS modulator is malfunctioning and not exhausting service air.
Are
any of
these conditions
found?
NO
Go to the next page . . .
YES
Service as needed.
Perform all Section Two inspections.
(Not a Thermal Overload warranty condition.)

SECTION TWO Continued
Inspect the actuator.
On level ground, with the wheels chocked, cage the spring brake actuator (if equipped) per the manufacturer’s guidelines, remove and inspect the actuator.
Is there visible damage?
In the installed position, was the lowest drain plug sealed?
Is the seal in poor condition/damaged?
Does the push‑rod extend further than 15 mm from the mounting face?
Are
any of
YES
these conditions
found?
NO
With the actuator removed, inspect the internal caliper surfaces through the actuator push rod opening.
Are
any of
YES
these conditions
found?
Service the actuator.
(Not a Thermal Overload warranty condition.)
Is there visible damage, rust, water?
With th e pads removed, use a s c rew drive r to depres s the lev e r.
Does the lever have a restricted range of motion? (The lever must touch the caliper body when fully retracted.)
Replace the caliper. Inspect the rotor.
(Not a Thermal Overload warranty condition.)
NO
No Section Two external causes found? Replace the caliper.
Where applicable, process a thermal overload warranty claim.
Actions When Replacing a Caliper
Replacement:
Replace the caliper on the affected wheel end and all the pads at both ends of
c
the axle.
Inspect the rotor according to the guidelines in Service Data sheet SD‑23‑7541.
c
If the brake assembly is still under warranty coverage:
File a claim. Clearly state the claim is for a single axle thermally overloaded brake.
c
The claim must include photographs of the rotor from both ends of the affected axle.
Return the caliper from the affected wheel end, and label the caliper with the claim
c
number.
Return the pads from both sides of the affected axle (LH and RH set of pads).
c
Please clearly label the parts with the wheel position and claim number.
Please include this completed checklist, the photographs of the rotors, and a copy
c
of the warranty claim with the returned parts.
