Manufacturer

GUNITE

Features & Benefits

• 16.50 x 7.00 inch dimensions match the standard requirements for heavy-duty air brake systems
• High-grade cast iron provides the thermal mass needed to prevent brake fade on long grades
• Inboard mounting configuration ensures a secure interface with the hub and axle assembly
• Precision-machined friction surface promotes even pad wear and consistent stopping distances
• Resistance to thermal cracking extends the interval between drum replacements in vocational use
• Balanced rotating mass minimizes wheel-end vibration to protect bearings and tires

Gunite Brake Drum

Dissipate braking heat effectively using the Gunite Brake Drum, a high-quality cast iron component designed for inboard mounting. Measuring 16.50 x 7.00 inches, this drum offers a massive friction surface area to ensure stable stopping power for heavily loaded trailers and trucks. Gunite utilizes a specialized metallurgical blend that resists "heat checking" and warping, which are the primary causes of brake pulsation and reduced lining life. The inboard design requires the Gunite 3295A drum to be mounted behind the hub flange, providing a stable rotating mass that helps maintain wheel-end balance during high-speed operation.
