Bendix® ADB22X™ Air Disc Brake

This video highlights the benefits of the Bendix® ADB22X™ air disc brake, manufactured by Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC (BSFB). The ADB22X air disc brake is part of BSFB's complete lineup of proven wheel-end solutions that meet and exceed the new federal stopping distance requirements mandated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The patented air disc brake is a lightweight air disc brake design proven to significantly reduce stopping distance and extend brake system life for commercial vehicles. In addition to significantly reducing stopping distance for commercial vehicles, Bendix® air disc brakes are proven to virtually eliminate brake fade with no degradation of stopping power; provide a passenger car-like feel; and permit straight, stable stops. Bendix air disc brakes also offer longer brake life, and fast and easy pad replacement -- improving uptime for fleets. Extensive field experience has validated the superior performance advantages of air disc brakes relative to stopping distance, pad and rotor life, and brake fade. In 2011, the Bendix ADB22X air disc brake attained standard position on the steer axle of all Peterbilt® Motors Company Class 8 truck models. Also in 2011, BSFB reached a milestone when it manufactured its 175,000th Bendix ADB22X air disc brake at the company's state-of-the-art wheel-end production facility in Bowling Green, Ky., which began producing the air disc brakes in 2005. Bendix® foundation drum brakes, disc brakes, automatic slack adjusters, and combination spring brakes are produced and made available by Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC under the Bendix® brand name.
