Haldex Commercial Vehicle Systems has introduced rivet-less front and rear covers for S-ABA (Self Setting Automatic Brake Adjusters). According to Haldex, the S-ABA has a unique design that revolutionizes correct fit with easy installation, improved performance, extended service life and streamlined inventories.
The front and rear covers of the S-ABA, which previously had a retaining rivet, have been replaced with rivet-less front and rear covers that are now retained by an adhesive compound, which provides enhanced sealing and improved tamper resistance. The rear cover has a unique grease relief, which creates a designed path for grease flow, Haldex said.
According to the company, by constantly maintaining optimum brake lining-to-drum clearance, Haldex ABAs reduce stopping distances and increase driver control and confidence under all conditions. Optimum brake adjustment helps prevent uneven tire and brake wear, reducing operating expenses and downtime costs, the company said.
