02Genuine Bendix AD9 vs Knockoff130003012019

The facts speak for The knock-offs used in these tests are actual products bought right off the shelf, and it’s just a sample of what we find every day. It is these differences that can, and frequently do, affect the performance, durability and long-term reliability of your braking system. Test Knock-off Pass/Fail Bendix Pass/Fail Manufacturing Quality X  Air Leakage X  Operating Durability X  Drying Capacity X  High Temperature Durability X  Desiccant Oil Fouling X  Vibration Resistance X  Cold Temperature Operation   Freeze-up Resistance   High Pressure Leak/Burst   Paint Adhesion   The Issue: Powdered and Oil Soaked Desiccant The Impact: Contamination leading to downstream component malfunction or failure Inferior desiccant delivered 35% less drying capacity and was easily fouled by oil, reducing dryer life by 50%. In addition, the desiccant beads turned to powder, traveling downstream. Desiccant beads turn to powder Knock-off Cartridge After Operating Durability ™ The picture shown is a dramatization and is not an actual air dryer failure. Why risk this on your vehicle? Comprehensive testing by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems has shown knock-off air dryers, as compared to the industry leading Bendix ® AD-9 ® air dryer, not only fall short of Bendix specifications, but can lead to unintended consequences on braking performance and stopping ability and damage to other components in the air brake system. Trying to save a few bucks on a non-genuine Bendix replacement air dryer could result in a stranded vehicle, excessive wear on the compressor or premature failure of downstream components/valves. The results are in. Take a look... The knock-offs used in these tests are actual products bought right off the shelf, and it’s just a sample of what we find every day.
