6th August 2009 - Stopping Brake Noise is a Snap with the NU-LOK Piston Cushion from NUCAP

Innovative company’s newest brake component can reduce brake noise up to 90%

If you are after quiet, squeal-free brakes, then the NU-LOK Piston Cushion could be one of the most valuable products you will ever use. Taking technicians less than 6 seconds to install, the rubber coated NU-LOK Piston Cushion simply snaps into the caliper piston and acts as a noise-dampening buffer by absorbing movement between the piston surface and the brake pad.

“As with all NUCAP products, our main objective with the Piston Cushion was to improve the way a brake system operates,” says Gerry Roy, Vice President of Product Development, NUCAP Industries. “However, instead of improving an existing technology, NUCAP created something revolutionary, a never-before-seen product that both lowers operating temperatures and reduces noise.”

The NU-LOK Piston Cushion has been proven in independent tests by Greening Laboratories and Link Engineering to reduce brake noise by up to 90%, while simultaneously lowering operating temperatures up to 60% longer than brake systems that are not equipped with the Piston Cushion.

Available in sizes to fit every type of vehicle, and designed with three layers of high tolerance steel and nitrile rubber, the Piston Cushion is an effective, low cost solution that helps technicians stop brake noise and, in the end, stop customer comebacks as well.

NUCAP’s mission is to bring innovative technical solutions to its customers, assisting them to stay in the forefront of brake technology.
