New Line of Abex Commercial Vehicle Brake Pads for Air Brake Systems Available From Federal-Mogul

Abex air-disc brake pads feature Federal-Mogul's exclusive, patented cast iron backplate technology, which ensures a more secure bond between pad material and backplate as well as reduced risk of corrosion -- all in a more efficient and lighter-weight design.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — The Abex line of premium-quality commercial vehicle braking products from Federal-Mogul has been expanded to include a comprehensive offering of brake pads specially formulated for today’s air brake systems.

Abex air-disc brake pads feature Federal-Mogul’s exclusive, patented cast iron backplate technology, which ensures a more secure bond between pad material and backplate as well as reduced risk of corrosion – all in a more efficient and lighter-weight design. Each Abex pad also incorporates an integrally molded friction V-groove that greatly improves heat dissipation and eliminates excessive material stress for outstanding performance under most temperatures and conditions.

Abex air-disc brake pads also feature application-engineered friction formulations to ensure superior braking power, extended life and reduced rotor wear. These pads are compatible with vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking and/or electronic stability systems.

Abex commercial vehicle sets are delivered complete with installation hardware kits to help speed the repair and eliminate unnecessary costs for the customer.

“Leading fleets recognize and respect the Abex brand as a result of millions of miles of trouble-free braking performance. Federal-Mogul has developed this advanced line of air-disc brake pads to enable distributors and their customers to enhance braking efficiency and reduce operating costs across a much larger range of applications,” said Peter Murnen, global director, Undercar Products, Federal-Mogul.
