NBP23-FF is an unapologetic premium standard 23K brake lining featuring NeoKinetic Friction Technology™ that delivers superior performance, wear life, and drum compatibility compared to others in its economy class.
NBP23 Premium Standard 23K
Description
NBP23-FF is a proud premium standard 23K brake lining, featuring exclusive NeoKinetic Friction Technology. NBP23 is a medium-friction, asbestos-free block built to perform when the runs are long but the cash is not – ideal for general freight applications and intermodal operations.
NBP23-FF meets the inertia dynamometer requirement of the FMVSS 121 brake standard at a 23,000 lb. GAWR when using an AL factor of 165 (type 30 air chamber and a 5.5″ slack adjuster) or greater.
Without question, this premium standard 23K lining leads the way in economy class.
Application
Recommended for use on S-Cam and Wedge brakes on trucks, tractors and trailers in medium weight applications such as general cargo, furniture, plastics and mail.
