<strong>Ultimate</strong> <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Procedures</strong> <strong>Prove</strong> <strong>Bendix</strong> <strong>Brake</strong><br />
<strong>Parts</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> and Reliability.<br />
July 2012<br />
<strong>Test</strong> procedures that go well above and beyond dynamometer testing are designed to provide the<br />
ultimate safety and reliability for <strong>Bendix</strong> brake part users and fully meet the demands of vehicle<br />
manufacturers’ original equipment requirements.<br />
Quite apart from the standard B8E4 and B8E6 test procedures conducted within the Asia Pacific <strong>Bendix</strong> test<br />
facilities located in Ballarat, Victoria, are exhaustive testing programs for ISO, JASO, ECE, ADR, Ford, Mazda, GM.<br />
Isuzu, Honda plus numerous additional world vehicle marques.<br />
As a major supplier to local and international car and truck manufacturers and the aftermarket, these comprehensive<br />
evaluations and designed to meet and exceed government and OE customers’ requirements on an ongoing basis.<br />
<strong>Bendix</strong> laboratory engineers constantly test friction characteristics, durability, effects of brake pads on the life of<br />
rotors, dimensional stability, reactions to extreme cold and heat plus noise – both audible and inaudible to the<br />
human ear.<br />
Experimental and current friction material testing is both ongoing and rigorous with dynamometer testing includes<br />
the effectiveness of the material, wear evaluation, torque and pressure control, temperature with extended burnish,<br />

compressibility and temperature extremes. This is followed with road and racetrack testing covering aspects<br />
such as high speed fade, driver assessment, judder assessment, delaminating, rear wheel brake lock up, city<br />
and county driving conditions, graunch noise, drum drag and general performance.<br />
The brake system development dynamometer testing engineering standard establishes a procedure for<br />
testing passenger vehicle, light commercial and light off-road vehicle braking to determine temperature –<br />
outer pad, inner pad and rotor, deceleration, line pressure, dynamometer speed, fluid displacement, stopping<br />
distance, brake application time and cooling air velocity. Friction material and disc thicknesses are measured<br />
and carefully monitored against established protocols and the test history is plotted.<br />
The vehicle noise test procedure for testing the brake system of passenger vehicles, light commercial and light<br />
off-road vehicles is designed to establish the propensity for the brake system including suspension, calliper,<br />
rotor, knuckle and friction material to generate noise.<br />
Road tests are conducted under full load conditions as well as unloaded with just the technician on-board and<br />
all components must meet stringent parameters.<br />
These exhaustive tests not only ensure safety and reliability for the motorists but provide a high degree of<br />
confidence and trust for the mechanic who fits this world renowned brand of brake components.The specially<br />
optimised <strong>Bendix</strong> Website, using the latest mobile-friendly access, contains Australia’s most up to-date<br />
catalogue reference listing, detailed product information for pad applications for General CT, 4WD, Heavy<br />
Commercial, Performance, <strong>Ultimate</strong> plus <strong>Brake</strong> Shoes.Technical tips plus information on sundry lines such<br />
as <strong>Brake</strong> Fluid, <strong>Brake</strong> Cleaner, <strong>Brake</strong> Lubricant etc. are also available. It is fast and provides a reliable and<br />
satisfying experience for the user saving valuable time for the trade and reducing the risk of incorrect parts<br />
being ordered.<br />
The smartphone enhanced <strong>Bendix</strong> Website can be accessed anywhere and at any time with links to <strong>Bendix</strong><br />
stockists throughout Australia. With a dramatic increase in smartphones being used in the workplace <strong>Bendix</strong><br />
is continually advancing ways to assist and improve business aides for fitters and mechanical trade users.<br />
