Marathon Brake Systems said it has published a new series of brake lining sales sheets, as well as a new application guide, designed to improve and simplify the brake lining selection process. The sales sheets represent Marathon’s full line of friction products, suitable for vocations ranging from general over-the-road freight to transit and severe-duty applications. The 12 sheets, available upon request from the company’s website, offer detailed information on each lining, including FMVSS #121 test results, allowing customers to determine the right friction material for their application.
The new application guide is an easy-to-use resource that helps determine the Marathon products that are most compatible with a given application, the company said. Users are given a variety of results, providing ultimate flexibility in choosing a friction material that best meets their braking requirements. Additionally, an interactive version of the application guide is now available on Marathon’s new website.
Made with high-density friction materials, Marathon’s brake linings exhibit significantly better wear characteristics than competitors, especially at higher temperatures, the company said. The result is a Best-In-Class high performance friction material with a longer lining life, excellent stopping power and superior drum compatibility, the maker added.
