 Spring Brakes – 
Dependable, Reliable.

Quality is more than skin deep!
Get the facts before you buy:
FACT:
   The emergency spring is the source of over fifty percent of all spring brake failures.
FACT:
   Corrosion weakens the emergency spring.  After cycling with forces in excess of 
2,500 pounds, stress fractures may occur, resulting in premature spring failure.
FACT:
   A durable epoxy coating that won’t chip or wear away with each brake application 
is critical to help you avoid costly downtime and unwanted repair or replacement.
Unlike the low price models on the market today, Bendix
®
 brand spring brakes are designed 
for extended service. Every Bendix spring brake offers superior corrosion protection in the 
critical emergency spring, plus less component clash and better spring centering.
Bendix spring brake chambers are precision engineered and quality built for long life in all 
environments. With Bendix, you get less downtime, less brake maintenance, and lower overall 
brake costs … something the competition just can’t live up to.

When it comes to corrosion protection, there’s more to consider than just the 
outside of your spring brake. Reliable emergency spring coating and effective 
internal component corrosion resistance are the keys to long spring brake 
service life . . . and the competition simply doesn’t deliver.
Take a closer look. The reverse side of this document 
demonstrates that the details do make the difference.
Excessive premature coating 
wear on this competitor’s 
emergency spring resulted in 
stress factures, a major factor 
in spring failure.
