The Bendix Pad Wear Sensing for ADB22X Air Disc Brakes is available for order on new equipment from select truck and trailer manufacturers. Bendix air disc brake (ADB) wear sensing technology determines when a pad is nearing its replacement period and provides a signal via telematics that fleets can use to proactively schedule maintenance. The system helps lower maintenance costs by reducing the need for technicians to measure friction, and by optimizing friction replacement schedules. In addition, since the system provides alerts when pads are reaching the point of replacement, it protects costly ADB components, such as rotors, from being damaged by worn-out pads, the company says.
