Stemco has released its new Lunar line of air disc brakes. The Lunar air disc brake product line includes two conventional air disc brake pads. Lunar is a high quality aftermarket air disc pad made to fit form and function as well as or better than original equipment (OE), according to Stemco. Lunar HP is built for extreme heavy-duty applications that demand extra performance while delivering improved stopping power, the company said.
According to Stemco, each part number has been rigorously tested to ensure it performs within a narrow tolerance of OE parts in accordance with ECE Regulation 90.

Traditional air disc components can run hot, causing premature wear; Lunar and Lunar HP brake pads are specifically formulated to meet rigorous demands without degrading due to prolonged exposure to friction and heat, which increases longevity and stopping performance, Stemco said.
“The Lunar line benefits from our long experience with engineered friction components,” said Jim Reis, vice president/general manager for Stemco Brake Products. “These brake pads can dissipate heat rapidly, even under severe operating conditions. They last longer, preserve other brake components, including the rotor, which means vehicles in your fleet are on the road more and in the shop less, all while improving safety.”
