BENDIX LUBRICANT AN ESSENTIAL PART OF BRAKE SERVICING
Specially engineered and formulated ceramic brake parts lubricant has become an essential part of brake servicing, avoiding wear on several mechanisms.
To overcome a number of issues with brake performance engineers at brake specialist Bendix have developed a synthetic lubricant called Ceramasil.
Whilst any grease will do the job in the short term, application of Bendix Ceramasil between the back plate of the pad and the piston and fingers of the caliper is an effective way to isolate the pads and decouple a system resonance.
The guide pins of a sliding caliper also require lubrication to operate correctly, allowing the caliper to centre over the rotor and adjust to accommodate wear on the pad.
Bendix recommends that with each brake service Ceramasil be applied to the caliper slide pins, the abutment slides of the caliper, between the back plate and the caliper fingers and the caliper bolt.
