Meritor Wabco Air Disc Brake Available at Hendrickson
Meritor Wabco has made its Single Piston PAN 22 Series Air Disc Brake available on selected Hendrickson International trailer axles and Intraax and Vantraax suspensions.
Meritor Wabco's single piston air disc brake is built with a large usable pad material volume that increases lining life and an integral molded friction pad to eliminate rust jacking.
"Our reliable internal sealed automatic adjuster lessens brake out of adjustments providing uniform stopping performance, while minimizing brake fade," said Mark Melletat, trailer systems director for Meritor Wabco. "This is especially important with the demands of today's highly congested roadways. It's a cost effective and lightweight solution that is optimized for on-highway line haul axle ratings up to and including 23,000 pounds, and ideal with 22.5 inch wheels."
At 79 pounds including pads, the PAN 22 weighs less than any other air disc brake in its class, the company claims. It also delivers braking torque performance up to 24,000 Nm. The company also boasts thicker pads for longer pad replacement intervals.
