Better to have Top-Quality Brake Pads and Quality Well in Excess of ECE R90 from your AM-Partner with OE ExpertiseThe Innovation Story continues

Our OE expertise and related know-how in the development and production of friction materials and brake pads goes back to 1914. The experience we have gained since then and

our step up to becoming an OE supplier form the basis for what is now globally recognized quality.

Continuous ongoing development has provided us with a success story containing many exciting chapters: 1920 saw the world’s first compression-molded brake pad – a milestone for performance, quality assurance and large-scale production. This was followed by Federal Research Institute research and development assignments for asbestos-free, eco-friendly friction materials. Market attention has more recently focused on the patented new technologies Metlock® and Greencoating. To be continued.

Honeywell is now one of the largest OE suppliers in the international automobile sector. As an OEM, Honeywell has been approved by all the leading brands. With its Bendix and Jurid brands, Honeywell can thus provide retail and workshop partners in the parts market with top-quality disc brake pads.

Engineering is a High Priority for Us

Honeywell is a global player. Its largest production plant for friction lining materials and its European development center are located at Glinde near Hamburg. To maintain and further extend its technological advantage, Honeywell is investing in an R & D department of around 120 employees. Highly specialized chemists and process engineers are constantly working on the development of new products and production processes.

Aftermarket Quality based on OE Manufacture

As an OEM and “hundred-year-old” pioneer of modern brake pads, we have also set very high quality standards for the pads, which far exceed the requirements set out in statutory standards such as ELV, REACH and ECE R90. The brake pads that Honeywell offers the parts market therefore have outstanding braking performance and service life figures, as well as superb functionality and accuracy of fit to each brake caliper. They also offer impressively low emission values in terms of noise and friction, and are produced using eco-friendly processes. 2

Better to have Top-Quality Brake Pads and Quality Well in Excess of ECE R90 from your AM-Partner with OE ExpertiseTop Secret:The same Rawmeterialsfor OE and AM

Irrespective of the brake pad, the selection of up to 30 different basic materials is the same for each one in the OE and the aftermarket. The open secret behind the quality is the consistently high grade of the basic friction material, the adhesive, binding material, metallic materials and the various fibers and granules. However, the innermost secret lies in the correctly proportioned sequence and mix of chemical, thermal and mechanical process engineering – the specialist knowledge that has evolved over a century.

Perfect Quality, Part after Part for the OE and the Aftermarket

Nevertheless, having the most sophisticated recipes and the friction material with the most bite is not enough on its own to make it a test winner. Each component must be of the same high standard to produce a brake pad of the quality that does justice to its origin – a company with OE expertise. This is why Honeywell assumes direct control of the production, machining and finishing of all the components that go into its Bendix and Jurid brake pads: friction material, backing plates, shims, springs and sensors. The production location of the around 60 million brake pads is immaterial: whether overseas or at one of the European factories, the quality at Condé in France, at Glinde near Hamburg in Germany, and in the Spanish facilities in Alcala and Barcelona always satisfies OE requirements.

Systematic Quality Assurance in all Phases of Production

Certifications, such as ISO TS 16949 and ISO 14001, provide universal quality assurance right from the start at all our sites. Even the raw materials, minerals, metals and fluids, as well as their interaction, are analyzed from a quality perspective in our in-house laboratories. The intermediate stages of the mixing and compaction processes, as well as the finished friction material, are similarly subjected to fundamental chemical and physical tests. After checks during production, the finished brake pads pass through additional static testing systems and undergo a series of physical dynamic tests. In what is overall a ten-stage production process, quality assurance intervenes at nine points along the line. This allows a possibly faulty part to be reliably detected and promptly removed from the subsequent production process.

This in-depth monitoring and safeguarding of the inner values of Honeywell aftermarket brake pads has been adopted by OEM quality management and is therefore identical to it. This guarantees top-quality brake pads for the aftermarket as well – a quality that stands out in every comparative test.

Better to have Top-Quality Brake Pads and Quality Well in Excess of ECE R90 from your AM-Partner with OE ExpertiseNo-Holds-Barred Quality Testing As well as checks during the production process, which cover everything from raw materials through components to the final product, binding data on the dynamic driving qualities of the brake pads can only be generated from braking tests carried out at test centers equipped with state-of-the-art test benches and simulation programs. These quality assurance measures are also carried out in our own laboratories at the Honeywell factories and under our direct control at test tracks such as Papenburg and Boxberg (in Germany) or their French counterpart, CERAM.

Compressibility TestThe compressibility test reveals the inner values of the friction material. The compressibility, heat transmission and thermal stability

figures provide information about the noise, pedal travel, overheating and glazing that can later be expected.

Inertia Test

The in-house developed dynamometer, consisting of hardware and software, can simulate and

analyze virtually all the variables and conditions between cause and effect. These include breakaway tests, tests with water, salt, varying temperatures, sound pressure level and frequency analyses, RTV / DTV tests and simulation of the vehicle weight.

Mobile Test Applications

Mobile measurement technology analyzes values in the real interaction of braking system and vehicle on

roads, freeways and test tracks. The parameters for this are provided by the internationally recognized test procedures ranging from the AMS comparison test through to performance and fading tests.

Incidentally, Honeywell brake testing and measurement technology leads the world.

ECE R90 Homologation

As Bendix and Jurid brake pads both are produced based on OE quality standards, the brake pads that we offer the parts market are naturally also homologated in accordance with the ECE R90 minimum standard.

Quality at First Glance

Our Bendix and Jurid brand brake pads enjoy an excellent reputation in the industry and in the workshop. On the one hand, original OE brake pads and original aftermarket brake pads from Honeywell are as alike as two peas in a pod but, on the other, they can have different article numbers, company logos and car brands, depending on the distribution channel. Despite this superficial diversity, genuine Honeywell quality can be recognized from the lettering stamped on the carrier plate – e.g. JURID.

Ready for the Parts Market

We prepare the contents of the brake pad pack to ensure there are no handling errors in the aftermarket and in the workshop. This includes careful sorting, as well as the addition of accessories and fitting components to the pack. Everything from logistics to assembly must run smoothly, so each of the million packs is labeled to reflect its contents and marked in line with ECE R90.

Logistics on Demand

We have two comprehensive storage and logistics centers to ensure the prompt and reliable delivery to our aftermarket partners in the retail market and in workshops. One is at Neunkirchen in Germany and the other is at Beauvais in France. With a total warehouse area of around 35,000 m² and a capacity of around 15,000 pallets, more than 10,000 different products are on call to satisfy the needs of the aftermarket. This centralization of product provisioning also ensures an overview of the actual stocks on hand. Thanks to state-of-the-art, computerized logistics and semi-automatic warehouse systems, we can offer our partners an extremely flexible delivery service. Orders are processed immediately and products are prepared and shipped to the required location in next to no time – even the next morning if required.

than Risky, Never-Ending Braking Distances

Unfortunately, awkward traffic situations happen more often than you think, even today. We can be glad that we do not have to rely purely on our own anticipatory vehicle handling skills, especially when pushing physical driving limits, but also on top-quality brake pads from an aftermarket partner with OE expertise. In official tests, the aftermarket disc brake pads of OE brands Bendix and Jurid keep scoring top marks – most recently in an AMS comparison test held on the test track in Boxberg (Germany)

The Honeywell Aftermarket disc brake pad required a braking distance of no more than 38 meters. A vehicle fitted with the brake pad of a competitor without OE experience carried on for a further 17 meters and required a 55-meter braking distance.

Backing up the impressive quality of these disc brake pads, which are well known to the market under the brand names Bendix and Jurid, is the cumulative expertise Honeywell has gained as an OEM, with extensive OE know-how and top-end, state-of-the-art production facilities.

in front of an audience of international media representatives. The test result emphasized once again the overwhelming superiority of aftermarket disc brake pads from the original equipment manufacturer Honeywell.

The test, which was carried out according to the rules of the internationally recognized AMS test program and involved 10 emergency stops from 100 km/h, was greeted with enthusiasm:
