TROY, Mich., April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Meritor, Inc.
(NYSE: MTOR) today announced the launch of several new braking solutions for multiple off-highway applications,
including a full line of wet disc brakes, a high capacity hydraulic disc brake and a 500 mm drum brake. These new offerings
expand Meritor's range of off-highway brake options and enhance its portfolio of modular brakes, differential carriers and
wheel-ends for multiple market segments.
"These new brakes, when combined with our global carriers and wheel-ends, will help us quickly meet customer requirements
around the world," said Joe Muscedere, vice president, Off-Highway, Specialty and Defense for
Meritor. "Global product designs combined with our regional manufacturing facilities around the world allow us to deliver
world-class products with fast lead times.
Meritor's line of wet disc brakes are available in multiple configurations and range from 228 mm to 460 mm in diameter. The
sealed designs are perfectly suited for a range of vehicles operating in adverse conditions.
Also launching is Meritor's new high-capacity hydraulic disc brake. This option can be used in single- or dual-caliper
configurations, suitable for multiple applications and machine capacities. Both configurations offer ample brake torque with the
four 85-mm pistons acting against a 500-mm rotor.
The new lineup also includes a 500-mm drum brake, which incorporates Meritor's improved S-cam design and lining materials to
deliver high performance in a compact package. This brake is built for off-highway trucks with large wheel and tire combinations
or for vehicles requiring higher brake torque than a 16.5-inch cast shoe brake.
