Mercedes-Benz Trucks Genuine brake discs and pads. Quality and safety for your Actros and Arocs.
We thoroughly tested brake parts from various manufacturers.1 The most important finding up front: your safety takes first place. You know which products you can trust the most – which parts reliably fulfil the daily requirements on the road. Genuine parts from Mercedes-Benz Trucks pass all challenges in the test and in everday use.
Optimal friction pairing.
How good is the friction pairing of brake disc and brake pad products from competitors and Mercedes-Benz Trucks Genuine Parts? We set up a comparison test to precisely analyse this. We want to ensure that you can rely on your Actros and Arocs in all critical situations. The test’s findings speak for the excellent durability and endurance of Mercedes-Benz Trucks GenuineParts.
High quality standards.
Parts that wear out prematurely reduce safety and have many other consequences. For example cracks in the brake disk that are larger than 60mm will invalidate the operating license. With genuine parts from Mercedes-Benz Trucks, you are choosing precision-fit parts for very good road handling and longer-lasting endurance.
Profitability for your business.
You have a competitive edge with parts from Mercedes-Benz Trucks. The quality of the brake discs and brake pads helps to prevent downtime and repair costs. Instead of unnecessary visits to the workshop, your Actros and Arocs are efficient on the road.
CRACK TEST: BRAKE DISCS.
The conditions.
The findings.
With competitors' products, large temperature fluctuations lead to strong thermal stresses. The consequences are gaping heat cracks up to the cooling channel.
The genuine parts from Mercedes-Benz Trucks show to have a very homogenous distribution of temperature and only fine cracks appear.
The conclusion.
The Mercedes-Benz Trucks genuine brake disc is the only part to pass all 500 test braking procedures and has a significantly longer life (up to factor of 3.3).
Winkler:
Full crack after 150 braking procedures – longest crack of 86 mm
Auger:
Full crack after 150 braking procedures – longest crack of 75 mm
Europart:
Full crack after 200 braking procedures – longest crack of 70 mm
Mercedes-Benz Trucks:
500 braking procedures without a full crack – longest crack of 49 mm
The conditions.
The findings.
Compared to the Mercedes-Benz Trucks genuine brake
pads (at an operating temperature of 300°C and 100 to
50 kph1), the competitors' brake pads wear out faster:
Auger: 6.6 x
Winkler: 2.5 x
Europart: 1.5 x
The conclusion.
The Mercedes-Benz Trucks genuine brake pad has a significantly lower wear than the competitors’ brake pads.
Winkler:
Cracking in the pad material – full crack to the pad carrier
Auger:
Very high wear during the tests (completely)
Europart:
Breakage of the pad material and cracking
Mercedes-Benz Trucks:
No noticeable changes (constructed with an angle to avoid noise)
QUALITY YOU CAN COUNT ON.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks genuine brake discs and brake pads have been specially engineered for your vehicle. They have an excellent material quality and a friction pairing that is optimally harmonised. This not only serves to provide more safety when braking, it also ensures exceptional durability and economic viability.
Example calculation.
The advantages of friction pairing for Mercedes-Benz Trucks GenuineParts compared to parts from Winkler at 500,000 km. Delta durability: brake disc factor of 3.3 / brake pad factor of 2.5.1
Assumption:
Mercedes-Benz Trucks brake disc lasts 400,000 km - 1 replacement2 required, Winkler brake disc in comparison - approx. 3 changes required
Result:
Mercedes-Benz Trucks brake pads last 200,000 km - 2 changes2 required, Winkler brake pads in comparison - approx. 5 changes required
Your advantage:
Around 3 fewer workshop visits/downtime days with Mercedes-Benz Trucks Genuine brake discs and pads. Up to 40 % cost savings (parts).3
