Dayton Parts LLC introduced its new all-makes air disc brake program for heavy truck and trailer applications. This line of air disc brake components will cover all major original equipment (OE) air disc brake products comprising a large majority of the market requirement, the company said.
“With federal stopping distance mandates of 250 ft or less maxing out the potential of conventional brake shoe and drum arrangements, utilization of air disc brake systems is on the rise,” said Steven Wolf, axle group product manager with Dayton Parts. “Our new all-makes portfolio offers more economical aftermarket replacement options with comparable performance levels to that of the original product.”
The Dayton Parts all-makes portfolio will cover original products from Bendix, Hendrickson, Meritor and WABCO and consist of a wide variety of air disc brake components, including:
- Air chambers – piston design and double diaphragm
- Carrier bracket kits
- Component kits
- Calipers – new for Hendrickson and WABCO; reman for Bendix and Meritor (EX225 calipers available in July)
- Disc pad sets
- Disc pad and rotor shields
- Hardware
- Rotors
- Tools
All Dayton Parts air disc brake products are tested to the highest standards and meet the company’s stringent performance requirements, the company said. The line of pads and rotors pass ISO 26866 Indicative Wear Testing and meet FMVSS 121 requirements and ECE R90 test criteria.
