Automann “SD” (severe duty) air disc brake pads are formulated for demanding service and can be used on vehicles in combination with 20,000-lb or 23,000-lb rated drum brake materials. The back plates are blanked from a high grade of hot-rolled, pickled and oiled steel to resist corrosion. The pad retention system is the long-time proven mechanical attachment method of wire mesh welded to the steel back plate combined with a special, high strength under layer to insure a secure bond for the life of the pad. The friction material itself is integrally molded to the under layer. The “SD” formulation has a long history of use in Europe and has been ECE R-90 performance certified. This material offers consistent service in demanding applications and good wear characteristics. Each axle set of disc brake pads comes packaged with the hardware needed to complete a first class brake job.
