Extending the Life of Braking Compressors

Challenge

Air compressors used in heavy vehicle braking systems were short-lived from unanticipated side loading and subsequent internal damage.

Solution

System Seals designed and created specialized bushings that resist side loads in high temperatures and could be retrofitted into existing compressors.

Result

Extensive testing proved the new design to be more than effective and could be easily adapted to existing parts, saving the company millions of dollars in replacement costs.
