    Abex, one of Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ leading commercial vehicle (CV) brands, has introduced a new series of premium brake rotors for the heavy-duty market.

    Designed to work in conjunction with its Air Disc Brake (ADB) pads, these new products are available across eight different Class 8 applications, covering nearly 98% of the HD ADB market. Abex offers a pad and rotor combination for the leading Bendix, Meritor and Wabco Air Disc Brake systems.

    Featuring E-Shield protective coating technology, Abex rotors are easier to remove, due to less corrosion and rusting on the attaching surface. Each rotor also contains a directionally smooth finish and offers quality design for maximum performance and reliability.

    Abex premium brake rotors feature precision mill balance technology to prevent common performance issues such as pedal pulsation and brake noise caused by improper balance.  Each rotor’s micro finish aids in proper seating of the friction material, reducing pad break-in time. Abex pad and rotor combinations are engineered to work together to provide optimum stopping and extended life.

    Federal-Mogul Powertrain designs and manufactures original equipment powertrain components and systems protection products for automotive, heavy-duty, industrial and transport applications.
