STEMCO has released a new line of air disc brakes, including two conventional air disc brake pads.

The Lunar product line, STEMCO says, is a high quality aftermarket air disc pad made to fit form and function as well as or better than original equipment (OE). Lunar HP is built for extreme heavy-duty applications that demand extra performance while delivering improved stopping power.

Traditional air disc components can run hot, causing premature wear.

Jim Reis, vice president/general manager for STEMCO brake products, says theLunar product line can dissipate heat rapidly, even under severe operating conditions.
