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.
