Kenworth Truck Company announced that factory-installed Bendix ADB22X front and rear air disc brakes are available for new Kenworth T370 medium-duty conventional trucks.
Bendix ADB22X air disc brakes have a two-pin floating caliper design that provides a more stringent overall dimension accuracy and consistent force distribution. According to Bendix, the design also significantly reduces brake fade with no degradation of stopping power.
The air disc brakes are available for a single rear axle with a GAWR of 19,000 to 23,000 lbs with Hendrickson HAS air suspension or dual rear axles with a GAWR up to 40,000 lbs with Kenworth AG400L suspension. Front axle coverage includes 10,000- and 12,000-lb capacities.
Kenworth recently announced it was making ADB22X front air disc brakes standard on its Class 8 tractors and trucks. The front air disc brakes were previously available as an option on the firm’s Class 8 models.
