SAF-Holland has launched BrakeSight, a brake monitoring system for Haldex air disc brakes that provides continuous, real-time visibility into wear at the wheel end. The company said the system targets fleets seeking more predictable brake service intervals and streamlined repair planning.
SAF-Holland said BrakeSight helps fleets schedule brake service at the optimal moment, extend rotor life, avoid unnecessary repairs and reduce overall maintenance costs.
How BrakeSight Brake Monitoring Works
BrakeSight is an optional feature for the Haldex ModulT air disc brake. As the adjustment mechanism rotates to compensate for pad and rotor wear, the system monitors this movement and translates it into a percentage of remaining pad and rotor life at each wheel end.
The sensor connects to a frame-mounted electronic control unit (ECU), which converts the signal and outputs real-time data via CAN. Designed for both tractor and trailer air disc brakes, BrakeSight is J1939 compliant and compatible with all telematics platforms. SAF-Holland works with telematics providers selected by the fleet and offers open integration without exclusive partnerships.
Built for Real-World Fleet Conditions
SAF-Holland said BrakeSight combines durability with ease of use. Features include:
Continuous measurement of brake pad wear; Ultrasonically welded sensor housing for long-term durability; IP6K9K sealing for harsh road and wash-down environments; Sensor warranty of 3 years or 350,000 miles, matching ABS coverage; Operating temperature range from -40 C to 125 C. Because all ModulT air disc brake calipers include the sensor mounting feature as standard, OEMs and fleets can add BrakeSight at any stage without replacing the caliper. This supports flexibility throughout the vehicle life cycle.
By providing real-time insight into brake wear, the system helps fleets create more accurate maintenance schedules, reduce unplanned downtime and protect brake components. The company positioned this as a way to lower total cost of ownership and improve uptime.

Schaeffler announced its LuK TorCon torque converter product line has expanded with the release of the LuK 8L90 TorCon. The company said the 8L90 TorCon is engineered to outperform rebuilt alternatives up to five times longer.
Replacement Process and In-House Manufacturing
Designed to streamline the replacement process, the LuK 8L90 TorCon eliminates the need for model-specific cores that are typically required in torque converter rebuilding. The 8L90 TorCon is in stock and ready for installation.
link hidden, please login to view said it is manufactured to precise standards using all-new components and advanced manufacturing processes and is designed and built in-house from raw material to final assembly. Materials and Testing
Featuring LuK friction materials and INA premium thrust bearings, the LuK TorCon is engineered to withstand extreme operating conditions. Its fully furnace-brazed fins improve heat dissipation, reduce wear, and enhance long-term durability. The contamination-free manufacturing process includes 100% pressure and lockup testing, along with precision balancing, according to the company.
Applications and VIO
The LuK TorCon product line supports a broad range of applications for passenger cars and pickup trucks. Schaeffler said its expertise in manufacturing OE torque converters allows it to capture several applications through a single SKU.
The TorCon (TC0020) is compatible with select 2015 to 2022 General Motors trucks, vans and SUVs equipped with 8L90 transmissions. It covers multiple engines and has a current VIO of over 700,000, offering versatility when choosing a new torque converter.
