Bendix® ADB22X®, ADB22X®-V & ADB22X®- LT Air Disc Brakes
SECTION ONE: AIR DISC BRAKE OVERVIEW
1.0 DESCRIPTION
Bendix® ADB22X®, ADB22X®-V, and ADB22X®-LT Air Disc
Brakes (ADB) use a floating caliper design to provide
foundation braking on all axles of heavy commercial
vehicles, buses, and trailers. Bendix air disc brakes provide
safety and performance as well as ease of service.
The ADB22X disc brakes mount to the axle's anchor plate
(torque plate) using fasteners that are installed parallel
to the axle, while the anchor-plate fasteners used for the
Bendix ADB22X-V air disc brakes install at right angles to
the axle. The ADB22X-LT air disc brake is designed for
trailer applications.
Available with or without a combination spring brake unit,
these brakes may also include optional wear sensors and
wear diagnostic equipment.

WARNING: Not all wheels and valve stems are
compatible with Bendix® Air Disc Brakes. Use only
wheels and valve stems approved by the vehicle
manufacturer to avoid the risk of valve stem shear
and other compatibility issues.
WARNING: AVOID CREATING
DUST. POSSIBLE CANCER AND LUNG
DISEASE HAZARD.
While Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC
does not offer asbestos brake linings, the long-term
affects of some non-asbestos fibers have not been
determined. Current Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) Regulations cover exposure
levels to some components of non-asbestos linings,
but not all. The following precautions must be used
when handling these materials.
Avoid creating dust. Compressed air or dry brushing
must never be used for cleaning brake assemblies
or the work area.
▲ Bendix recommends that workers doing brake
work must take steps to minimize exposure
to airborne brake lining particles. Proper
procedures to reduce exposure include working
in a well-ventilated area, segregation of areas
where brake work is done, use of local filtered
ventilation systems or use of enclosed cells with
filtered vacuums. Respirators approved by the
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
or National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health (NIOSH) should be worn at all times
during brake servicing.
▲ Workers must wash before eating, drinking, or
smoking; shower after working, and should not
wear work clothes home. Work clothes should
be vacuumed and laundered separately without
shaking.
▲ OSHA & EPA Regulations regarding testing,
disposal of waste, and methods of reducing
exposure for asbestos are set forth in 29 &
40 Code of Federal Regulations §1910.1001 &
61.150, respectively. These Regulations provide
valuable information which can be utilized to
reduce exposure to airborne particles.
▲ Safety Data Sheets on this product, as required
by OSHA, are available from Bendix. Call

1.2 Rotor Identification
1.3 Wear Sensor Identification
See Figure 4 to help you identify which type of rotor is used
on the axle being inspected. Note that the maintenance
inspection procedure will depend on the type of rotor
installed.
See Figure 5 for the electronic wear sensor that may be
present.
1.4 Operation
Bendix® air disc brakes convert air pressure into braking
force. (See Figure 6.) When the vehicle brakes are applied,
air enters the service brake chamber through the supply
port, applying pressure within the diaphragm. The pressure
expands the diaphragm – applying force to, and moving,
the pressure plate and pushrod forward. The pushrod
acts against a cup in the internal lever – which pivots on
an eccentric bearing – moving the bridge. Moving against
a return spring, the bridge transfers the motion to two
threaded tubes and tappets, which move the inner brake
pad. The inner brake pad (from its normal position of having
a running clearance between it and the rotor) moves into
contact with the brake rotor. Further movement of the
bridge forces the caliper – sliding on two stationary guide
pins – away from the rotor. That, in turn, pulls the outer
brake pad into the rotor. The clamping action of the brake
pads on the rotor applies braking force to the wheel.

1.4.1 Brake Release and Adjustment
When the vehicle brakes are released, the air pressure
in the service brake chamber is exhausted and the return
springs in the chamber and the bridge return the air disc
brake to a neutral, non-braked position. To maintain the
running clearance gap between the rotor and the brake
pads over time, the non-braked position is mechanically
adjusted by a mechanism in the caliper. The adjustment
mechanism operates automatically whenever the brakes
are activated, to compensate for rotor and brake pad wear
and to keep the running clearance constant. During pad
or rotor maintenance, the technician manually sets the
system’s initial non-braked position. The total running
clearance (the sum of clearances on both sides of the
rotor) should be between 0.024 to 0.043 in. (0.6 to 1.2 mm).
