7 20k vs 23k Should a fleet use 20K or 23K rated friction material on their axles? Many fleets make decisions regarding the aftermarket friction material that’s best for their application based on several misunderstandings. The result is that far too many fleets spec 23,000 lb. rated brake linings for applications that are ideally suited to a 20,000 lb. lining. So let’s investigate this further. The axles on every vehicle have a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). For most tractor or trailer axles, the GAWR will be 20,000 lbs. (20K) or 23,000 lbs. (23K). Some heavier axles may certify with a GAWR of 26,000 lbs. (26K). Transit busses GAWR are usually 28,660 lbs. Since most tractor and trailer over-the-highway applications have GAWR of 20K or 23K, let’s focus our discussion on these. In the US, the vast majority of axles (70% plus) have a GAWR of 20K. Most of the other applications have a GAWR of 23K, and a small percentage have a higher GAWR for very heavy applications. In Canada, most axles have 23K GAWR and require 23K friction materials. New Trucks and Trailers: Most axles on new trucks and trailers have a GAWR of 20K. They are supplied with a friction material that rates at 20K. Truck OEM’s do extensive friction material approval testing and require a 10% compliance margin. 20K friction materials are designed to perform very well on axles with a 20K GAWR. When you have a 20K GAWR axle and you use 20K rated friction material for aftermarket replacement, you will receive optimal results: 1.The friction has been engineered to pull more than enough torque (+10% compliance margin) for the application. 2.The correct friction level for the application will optimize/maximize your lining life, drum life and wheel end component life. 3.The correct friction level for the application will reduce the chance for brake noise and vibration. 4.20K GAWR friction is generally less expensive than 23K GAWR friction material. When you use a 23K GAWR rated friction material on a 20K axle you will not receive optimal results: 1. You will pull more torque than you need for the application. The higher friction does not make the material “more safe”. With a 20K material on a 20K axle you have plenty of stopping ability. 2. Lining life, drum life and wheel end component life will tend to be shorter. 3.Your chances of brake noise and vibration are much higher with the higher friction material. 4.23K friction generally is more expensive than 20K friction material. In summary, Midwest Wheel provides both 20K and 23K rated friction materials, and can supply either for any application. However, best maintenance results are achieved when you match the rating of the friction material to the GAWR of the axle for any application.
8 H20 & H23 STD20 & STD23 STD20 and STD23 are both standard-grade friction materials engineered to deliver dependable stopping power, solid fade resistance, and full compliance with FMVSS 121 test procedures. While they share similar performance characteristics and are well-suited for general over-the-road hauling, they differ in the axle loads they are designed to support. STD20 is rated for 20,000 lb axle loads and is ideal for general hauling applications that do not require higher-capacity braking. STD23 is rated for 23,000 lb axle loads, making it better suited for operations that demand a higher load rating while maintaining the same reliable stopping performance. • Economy class performance that meets FMVSS121 requirements • Ideal for general freight applications and intermodal operators • Budget friendly • Dependable stopping and fade performance • Good brake fade and recovery characteristics • Good lining life and drum life • lining is produced in ISO140001 and ISO9000 certified factories • Copper free H20 and H23 are both premium-quality friction materials engineered to deliver dependable stopping power, long wear life, and full compliance with Federal FMVSS 121 test procedures and RSD compliant per TMC RP628C. While they share strong performance, durability, and regulatory advantages, their differences lie in the duty levels they are designed to handle. H20 is ideal for standard heavy-duty vocations—such as over-the-road freight and general hauling—that do not require a severe-service lining, and it is rated for 20,000 lb axle loads with excellent fade resistance. H23, on the other hand, is rated for 23,000 lb axle loads with excellent fade resistance. H23 is formulated for more demanding applications such as liquid tanker, grain, cement, or standard-duty refuse operations, where enhanced durability and consistent performance under varied or harsher conditions are critical. • Hi-Density formulation for excellent heat dissipation • Dependable stopping performance • Excellent brake fade and recovery characteristics • Works on a broad range of over-the road hauling applications • Meets NHTSA requirements for RSD- reduced stopping distance • RSD approved per RP628C • Aftermarket Grade • Drum friendly • lining is produced in ISO140001 and ISO9000 certified factories • Copper free Brake Linings 23k 20k 20k 23k

13 New Regulations RSD - Reduced Stopping Distance In an effort to significantly reduce road fatalities involving commercial vehicles, the NHTSA has instituted regulations to reduce FMVSS121 stopping distances from 60 mph for commercial vehicles closer to those of the other road vehicles. Implementation of the new regulations began with 2012 models effecting only new class 8 tractors. The new ruling repesents a reduction of 30% in stopping distance. The graph below explains the old versus new stopping distances for various vehicle axles, unloaded and loaded vehicles. Brake friction material plays a vital role in achieving the new stopping distance. Half of the reduction comes from increased friction output while the other half comes from the steer axle change from 15 x 4 in QP brake to 16.5 x 5 in QP (chamber from type 20 to 24). Drive axle brake will remain 16.5 x 7 in QP or move to 16.5 x 8-5/8 in QP. In other words, half of the reduction will come from the brake and chamber size change in the steer axle and the other half from increase in friction output. Requirement for RSD Materials Currently there are NO Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations governing aftermarket friction materials or performance requirements. End users are not required to verify their vehicles meet the new stopping distance requirements. If you’re looking to stay fully RSD compliant while maximizing stopping performance, we have the right solutions for you. Our premium aftermarket MaxHD H20/H23 linings are our leading option for a wide range of applications, delivering exceptional stopping power, safety, value—and RSD compliance. For those who prefer an OE-grade material, we also offer Abex 6326/6260, providing true factory-level performance and added peace of mind.

Spring Brake Chambers Make sure your push rod is even on all chambers. To help, cut the push rod to the appropriate length. Slack Adjuster Ensure your slack is setup properly per the manufacturer’s recommendation. S-Cams Make sure no grease is on your S-cam head. Aim for free play movement in and out, and up and down. Also, seal your installation. Hardware Kits When performing a brake job, replace the hardware kit completely, not only the springs. Shoes Do a complete replacement, not only one wheel. The minimum should be a complete axle if it's not possible to do an entire unit. Drums Make sure to use heavy drums for severe applications. Use of lightweight brake drums on any heavy duty application is not recommended – they frequently lead to damaged or cracked drums. Lining Wear Patterns To begin, after removing drums look at the brake shoes and lining before you remove them off the wheel - it will tell you a story. Brake Adjustment Jack up axles and snub up brakes, then back off ¼ to ½ turn on manual slacks and use templates on automatic slack adjusters. Brake Lining Burnishing Heat up the brakes until you are able to smell them. Then, allow them to cool. Do this procedure within ¼ to 1 mile. Check wheel temperature with a heat gun Best Practices to Keep Your Brakes in Good Condition Disclaimer: The brake linings listed in this catalog are based on published manufacturer product information and are intended for general reference only. They should not be construed as specific application recommendations. Always verify compatibility and suitability with the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and your service professional before selecting or installing any brake lining.
