About Bendix

In the commercial vehicle industry, you always need to think about the risk/reward ratio. And an accident due to insufficient braking power, poor visibility, or driver distress will cost your company far more than you could ever gain by using inferior parts. That is why when it comes to replacement components concerning all these areas, you must go only for a trusted brand, and that is Bendix.

A member of Knorr-Bremse, a global leader for braking systems, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems is a developer and supplier of improved safety solutions, air brake charging, and control systems and components for commercial vehicles and medium to heavy duty trucks, trailers, tractors, and buses throughout North America. It is a pioneer in the industry with its main headquarters in Elyria, Ohio and manufacturing plants in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Mexico. It employs over 4,100 hardworking, skilled, and dedicated people responsible for creating only the best solutions for increased vehicle safety, improved performance, and overall operating cost.

Bendix is committed to providing only the highest-quality air brakes, actuators, slack adjusters, and other components for the commercial vehicle industry. That is why all Bendix products are manufactured by focusing on the entire system and not just on the part to ensure maximum performance and reliability. These are also engineered to meet precise, sophisticated engineering and service requirements globally.

Bendix Parts

Since 1924, Bendix parts have been trusted to help drivers get to their destination safely. Everyone makes a big deal about arriving fast, but Bendix knows that arriving in one piece is more important. This Ohio-based company continually innovates its products and introduces new solutions to keep the commercial trucks, trailers, buses, and tractors in North America safe and comfortable. Here are some of the products that are included in its growing portfolio:

Bendix ABS/Stability

When a truck loses control and rolls over, the first thing that probably comes to your mind is that the rollover event is due to a malfunctioning anti-lock braking system component. This is highly likely since the main purpose of the ABS is to allow the driver to have directional control over the vehicle after heavy braking. When any of its components get damaged, it can lead to loss of control and rollover incidents.

Bendix® ESP® Full Stability System

Experience the difference in commercial vehicle stability systems with the Bendix® ESP® Full Stability System. This product is designed specifically to help prevent rollovers and loss-of-control situations. It uses the ESP technology, which offers both roll and yaw stability to help provide loss of control and rollover mitigation.

Considered as the first widely available ABS-bases truck stability system, the Bendix® ESP® recognizes and assists in oversteer and under-steer loss-of-control driving incidents as well as in loss of traction events due to ice, snow, rain, sand, dust, and more. More and more fleets and drivers have already experienced the Bendix® ESP® advantage, and they all agreed that it’s more than roll-only stability—it is Full Stability. Here are the advantages to using this system:

• Can sense more situations completely and quickly
• Offers intelligent decision-making and faster reaction time
• More braking power applied
• Provides event data that can help in driver training

Bendix Actuators

Bendix offers a wide range of actuators to keep your fleet on the road longer. An actuator is a device that’s used to convert the compressed air force within the truck’s air reservoir into a mechanical force, which then activates the brakes. When this fails, the air brakes will not perform effectively or, worse, not function.

Bendix has got the best options available for spring brake actuators, and these are the following:

Bendix® EnduraSure™ Spring Brake Series

Do you know that broken power springs are often the main reason why spring brakes fail? If yes, then you’ll be glad to know that there’s finally a solution to that—the EnduraSure™ spring brakes. These brakes are manufactured to deliver greater durability, performance, and up to 3X the power spring life of competing units. They also help prevent coil clash and corrosion and offer a longer service life for reduced ownership costs. They are the lightest weight chamber in their class and come with a 4-year warranty.

Bendix® EnduraSure™-Pro Spring Brake Series

For fleets operating in severe applications, the EnduraSure™-Pro spring brakes are the better options. These sealed spring brakes are the new premium in spring brakes as they feature an integrated check valve that keeps contaminants away from the chamber. They perform up to 5.5X better than competing non-sealed brakes and up to 1.5X better than the closest competitor in durability testing. They also last longer as they come sealed against corrosion, and their new pushrods have a higher hardness that offers extra protection against seal leakage. A 6-year warranty backs all EnduraSure™-Pro brakes for your peace of mind.

Bendix Air Disc Brakes for Tractors and Trailers

Fully loaded tractor-trailers cruising at highway speeds require optimum stopping power, and the Bendix air disc brakes can very much provide this and more. These products are engineered to consistently deliver that superior braking performance you’d come to expect from the Bendix brand. And unlike the drum brakes, these ADBs do not suffer from a “fade” in stopping power even when used repeatedly.

Bendix® ADB22X®-LT for Trailers

One of the most popular air disc brake options from Bendix is the ADB22X®-LT. This product offers not only improved safety and maximum braking power but also shorter stopping distances. And since it has a longer service interval and quicker maintenance, it is the preferred choice by many fleet owners and commercial vehicle operators.

The ADB22X®-LT is built on the same proven platform as the ADB22X brake, so it shares common replacement wear items with the ADB22X on tractors. If your tractor is equipped with the ADB22X, then all the more you need the LT version for your trailer to keep costs to a minimum.

Other benefits that you’ll get from the ADB22X®-LT are weight savings, lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, longer pad life due to new adjusters, and reduced brake drag risk. It also comes with the same 5-year warranty as the ADB22X, so you can rest easy that this product is of the highest quality.

Bendix has sure come a long way since its inception. Today, its product coverage is even more comprehensive with the addition of the following products:

• Compressors and governors
• Foundation drum brakes
• Hydraulic brake parts
• Remanufactured brake shoes
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Valves
• Steering and trailer solutions
• Replacement components and accessories
