NeoBrake Air Disc™ Brake Pads

Description

NeoBrake Air Disc™ brake pads are specially designed to dissipate heat more aggressively. Turns out, excessive heat is causing premature pad wear and parts failure as a result. In fact, we’ve seen quality new pads last only three months in service as a direct result, so we developed a more robust premium brake pad to combat the problem.

When you have less surface friction area to manage the heat, your lining needs more oomph to get the job done. Once we established the problem, we applied our proven NeoKinetic Friction Technology™ to formulate a solution.

NeoBrake Air Disc™ brake pads last longer, while also helping to prevent premature wear and damage to wheel-end components. They also pass the inertia dynamometer requirement of the FMVSS 121 brake standard at a 22,000 lb. GAWR.

Application

Recommended for use on trucks, tractors, and trailers in all applications including general cargo, stop and go urban driving, bus, grain, liquid hauling, dump trucks and lowboys.

Gogan Hardness

25 – 30 GC
Nondestructive method of measuring a pad’s compressibility. Used as a quality control check of the consistency of formulation and processing of brake pad (SAE J379a).

Specific Gravity

2.5 – 3.0 gm/cc
Nondestructive test used as a quality control check of the consistency of formulation and processing of brake pad (SAE J380).

Shear Strength

4.5 N/mm2
Method of evaluating physical strength of brake pad (ASTM D952). Force required to break a sample 1.0 x 1.0 inch.

Temp Range

800 °F
