We don’t just say NU-LOK Piston Cushion will reduce comebacks and improve your bottom line, we have documented proof.

In independent test after independent test, NU-LOK Piston Cushion was shown to significantly reduce NVH and brake heat transfer.

Independent tests results by Greening shown below.

2 comparison tests (SAE J2521) that are performed routinely in the braking industry to gauge noise levels during operation.

The chart on the left is the Baseline Test running Honda Accord Brake Pads without Piston Cushion. The chart above graphs all noise levels that are considered to be a noisy stop (> 70dBA). As seen in the graph this test produced 188 NOISY STOPS with a peak noise level of approx. 105dBA.
Without PISTON CUSHION
 
The same test was performed with the addition of NU-LOK Piston Cushion. The noise level was significantly reduced across the board with peak levels of noise well below the 70dBA threshold – RESULTING IN ONLY 1 NOISY STOP - hence, showing OVER 99% IMPROVEMENT in noise.

Independent tests results by Link Engineering shown below.

2 comparison tests (SAE J2521) that are performed routinely in the braking industry to gauge noise levels during operation.

The chart on the left is the Baseline Test running Honda Accord Brake Pads without Piston Cushion. The areas above the black line represent what is considered a noisy stop (> 70dBA). As seen in the graph this test produced 4 NOISY STOPS with a peak noise level of approx. 90dBA.
Without PISTON CUSHION
 
The same test was performed with the addition of NU-LOK Piston Cushion. The noise level was significantly reduced across the board with peak levels of noise well below the 70dBA threshold – RESULTING IN ZERO NOISY STOPS - hence, showing a 100% IMPROVEMENT in noise.
