Haldex, a global manufacturer of air brake systems for trucks, trailers and buses, has been awarded standard position for the Haldex Automatic Brake Adjuster (ABA) for all S-Cam Brake Assemblies for International Class 8 tractors (LT, RH and Lonestar series).
“We value our partnership with Navistar and the confidence they have in our industry leading clearance sensing brake adjuster,“ said Walter Frankiewicz, President Haldex North America & Senior Vice President Haldex North American Sales. Navistar is a leading manufacturer of commercial trucks, buses, defense vehicles and engines.
Haldex ABAs incorporate design features that provide reliable and accurate brake adjustment longer, according to the company. The fully sealed control arm eliminates the exposed linkage and rubber boots of linkage style adjusters, improving durability and reliability. Its clearance-sensing design prevents excessive brake wear and failed roadside inspections, which reduces operating and downtime costs. It adjusts during brake release, when forces on the adjuster are at their lowest, to prolong life.
The versatile Haldex design is available to fit more applications than any other adjuster, the company says.
