Stemco, manufacturer of heavy-duty components and solutions for the commercial vehicle market, introduced its new CentriFuse HD (heavy-duty) brake drums for severe service applications.
Designed to increase performance and safety for both on- and off-highway use, including logging, concrete, dump and refuse hauling, CentriFuse HD brake drums provide up to double the service life of full-cast brake drums.
Featuring the patented alloy braking surface and steel jacket technology that are the hallmark of all genuine CentriFuse products, the HD series is rated to 26,000 lbs. per axle and is backed by a 3-year warranty. At 100–111 lbs. each (depending on size), CentriFuse HD brake drums are the lightest severe service drums in the industry, providing improved fuel efficiency and reduced equipment stress, said the company.
“Stemco is committed to making the roadways safer, and we developed the CentriFuse HD brake drums based on extensive analysis of our customers’ trucking needs and applications,” said Jim Reis, vice president and general manager, Stemco Brake Products. “The result is a product that provides an unmatched combination of weight savings, service life and stopping power for exceptional safety and reliability in severe service applications.”
CentriFuse HD brake drums can be recognized by their red jacket color and are available in 16.5-in. by 7-, 8- and 8.62-in. sizes.
