SAF-Holland's BrakeSight Sensor Cuts Brake Maintenance Guesswork

Key Details SAF-Holland has launched BrakeSight, a real-time brake wear monitoring system for fleets using Haldex ModulT air disc brakes. The sensor integrates directly into the brake caliper and tracks pad and rotor wear continuously, reporting remaining life at each wheel end. How It Works As the brake's adjustment mechanism rotates to compensate for wear, the sensor converts that movement into a percentage of remaining pad and rotor life. The data transmits to a frame-mounted electronic control unit, which outputs real-time information via J1939 CAN communication to your existing telematics platform. Why It Matters BrakeSight eliminates guesswork from brake maintenance decisions. Fleets can schedule service at the optimal time, extending rotor life, avoiding unnecessary repairs, and preventing expensive rotor damage. This translates to reduced downtime and lower total cost of ownership. Installation and Durability The system can be installed during vehicle production or retrofitted later since all ModulT calipers include the sensor mounting feature as standard. BrakeSight carries a three-year, 350,000-mile warranty and features an ultrasonically welded sensor housing with IP6K9K sealing for harsh environments.
