Granning Lynx Disc braked axles employ Knorr Bremse and Wabco Axial disc brakes for their stopping power. The Knorr Bremse SN7000 and SN 6000 have been well proven and tested and are fitted to many commercial vehicles as original equipment, therefore to ensure that Granning Lynx axles can be compatible with the original vehicle disc braking equipment we have standardized on these disc brakes. This ensures that the braking force on each axle compliments the others and also many service items for the vehicle brakes are common.

The Granning Lynx 600 Series axle employs the SN6000 and PAN-19 disc brakes, which is suitable for twin, or single centre nave 17.5", 19.5" or 22.5" radius wheels, and has a 380mm diameter rotor.
