IMT makes Haldex ModulX preferred disc brake option
Aug 1, 2010 12:00 PM
Haldex Commercial Vehicle Systems announced that the ModulX DB22LT is now the preferred disc brake option offered on IMT axles. ModulX has been available on IMT rigid axles since March 2008, and is now also released on IMT self-steer axles. IMT is a major manufacturer and supplier to the truck-trailer, OEM, and defense industries.
The ModulX air disc brake slides on four stainless steel slide pins, providing a more compact, stable design than the standard two-pin design. Stainless steel pins increase corrosion resistance and require no lubrication. Two tappets equally distribute brake pad clamping force to ensure even wear, resulting in longer service life and lower maintenance costs.
DB22LT is an optimized disc brake design, engineered specifically for common heavy duty applications. It outperforms standard S-cam drum brakes in practically every category and saves about 18 lbs per brake over previous ModulX versions.
ModulX is less sensitive to speed and temperature variations common in any extreme demanding grade or braking application. Efficient and responsive in the most demanding braking applications, ModulX does not suffer from significant hysteresis like traditional S-cam drum brakes. With ModulX, braking force is applied more equally to all wheels, providing greater control and stability.
