Why choose lightweight and modular pneumatic disc brakes for your fleet?
In the competitive world of heavy transport, every kilo counts. Efficiency, durability, and low maintenance are not just advantages but strategic necessities. This is where pneumatically operated disc brakes come into play as a key solution to reduce operational costs and improve fleet performance.
An intelligent solution for demanding industrial vehicles
In response to the growing demands of the sector, Haldex has developed the ModulT platform, an innovative disc brake system designed specifically to deliver high performance with optimized weight. This system is based on a monoblock architecture, simple pusher mechanism, and stainless steel sliding guides, ensuring a prolonged lifespan and uniform wear.
Moreover, thanks to its modular approach, ModulT brakes use the same components for different sizes, simplifying maintenance and inventory management. If you want to learn more about this technology and its operation, check the details about the disc brake on the official Haldex website.
Lightweight without compromising power
One of the main advantages of the ModulT range is its lightness. Thanks to an optimized design using computer-aided topology tools, the brake body retains only the essential material to maintain structural integrity. This results in a total weight of just over 30 kg, without affecting braking capacity, which can reach up to 20 kNm in the DBT22LT model.
This design allows for greater fuel efficiency, reduced component wear, and a faster installation.
Simplified maintenance and guaranteed efficiency
The simple pusher mechanism, in addition to reducing the number of moving parts, facilitates maintenance. For example, the screwless pad holder and the use of only two screws throughout the system make disassembly and parts replacement much quicker.
Additionally, the use of double bearings and PTFE-coated steel bushings helps keep hysteresis low, thus improving the efficiency of the brake system.
Compatibility and versatile applications
ModulT brakes are available for wheels of 17.5″, 19.5″, and 22.5″, and are compatible with trucks, buses, and trailers. Their flexibility makes them an excellent choice for both vehicle manufacturers and maintenance and logistics companies.
Conclusion
Haldex’s ModulT brake technology represents a clear evolution toward smarter, lighter, and more sustainable systems for industrial vehicles. Choosing ModulT means reducing weight without losing performance, optimizing maintenance processes, and ensuring a long lifespan for your braking systems.
