KIRKLAND, Wash., May 29, 2009 – Kenworth Truck Company has produced a new brochure on Bendix(R) ADB22X(TM) air disc brakes from Bendix Spicer Foundation Brakes LLC.
The Kenworth T660, T800 T2000 and W900 Class 8 models are available with Bendix air disc brakes on the front axle alone or on all wheels. The Bendix ADB22X air disc brake is a lightweight package that helps reduce total wheel-end weight compared to other air disc brake packages and many drum configurations, provides fast and easy pad replacement, and offers extended brake life.
Bendix ADB22X air disc brakes feature a mono-block caliper design that provides a compact brake compared to other two-piece caliper models. This design offers sealing that provides optimal protection from environmental elements, and a larger rotor that absorbs more energy. The Bendix air disc brake is available from Kenworth with an aluminum hub and the Splined Disc(R) rotor assembly.
Contact your Kenworth dealer to obtain a copy of the brochure. Information on Bendix ADB22X air disc brakes is also available at 1-866-610-9709 or www.foundationbrakes.com.
