Jurid: Original in OEM This part matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications which means that it is at least as good if not better than the original part the manufacturer supplied the car with. Jurid works closely with car and brake manufacturers on brake pads and linings with OE homologation that are designed for specific vehicle types and axles. This and what is virtually a century of experience also explain why we identify ourselves with such a high OEM quality standard. As an OEM and hundred-year-old pioneer of modern brake pads, Jurid have set very high quality standards for the pads, which far exceed the requirements set out in statutory standards such as ELV, REACH and ECE R90. The brake pads that Jurid offers the parts market therefore have outstanding braking performance and service life figures, as well as superb functionality and accuracy of fit to each brake caliper. They also offer impressively low emission values in terms of noise and friction, and are produced using eco-friendly processes.

Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor

As an OE manufacturer, PEX brake wear sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part. This means technicians get the right part for the job, the part fits properly, and the brake wear sensor works correctly once installed. This insures that as the brake pad wears down, the sensor makes proper contact with the rotor, which breaks the sensor’s wire loop. Once broken, the car’s warning lamp is illuminated, alerting the driver that the brake pads have worn to a level in which they need to be replaced.

Product Features:

• PEX sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part enabling easy installation and ensuring proper fit.
• Use of high quality materials specified by auto manufactures ensures durability and resistance to extreme temperatures, as well as excellent electrical performance and provides safety and performance for drivers and passengers.
• All PEX products undergo stringent and constant quality controls. We inspect virtually every aspect going far beyond the form, fit, and function. Our Quality Control includes heat tests; resistance; as well as pull force testing – just to name a few.
• Our newly designed packaging is both cost effective and “green” since it is manufactured using fewer natural resources reflecting our dedication to corporate responsibility
• As the leading manufacturer of electronic brake wear sensors, PEX offers the widest range of sensors in our peer group for both commercial and passenger vehicles.
