MEDIUM-DUTY DISC PADS
Bosch has introduced a new series of ‘QuietCast’ medium-duty disc-brake pads, expanding the line with the addition of 24 part numbers. Coverage now extends to class 3-7 truck applications.
QuietCast pads are manufactured using OE friction formulas or friction formula upgrades. They’re claimed to give superior stopping power, increased pad life, quiet stops, low dust, and good pedal feel.
The blends of friction material are application-specific, Bosch explains, based on obvious factors like vehicle weight and typical duty cycles. But the company says more subtle considerations include rotor diameter and thickness, and even caliper bracketry.
