NUCAP Industries recently announced that it has acquired Brake Align Inc. located in Ashland, VA, manufacturer of the Brake Align Runout Correction Plate.

“Brake Align is a welcome addition for NUCAP. The innovative Brake Align product ensures brake system performance, durability and safety, which is core to our culture. This product line will enhance NUCAP’s ability to provide our customers with the most comprehensive line of innovative product solutions,” said Ray Arbesman, CEO and chairman of NUCAP.

The Brake Align Runout Correction Plate is a simple, cost-effective solution to bring vehicles with out-of-tolerance brake lateral runout back into specification. As OE brake systems are being introduced with increasingly tighter specifications, measuring and adjusting for lateral runout is a key factor in performing a comeback-free brake service. Brake Align plates are installed between the hub and brake rotor, which allows for lateral runout of up to .006” over specification to be corrected.

NUCAP is a global leader in brake system component innovation and manufacturing. With locations in Canada, China, Spain and the United States, NUCAP supplies many of the world’s leading aftermarket and OE manufacturers like Audi, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Ferrari, Fiat, Ford and General Motors. NUCAP’s product portfolio consist of disc brake backing plates, noise abatement shims, disc brake attaching hardware, caliper abutment hardware, electronic wear sensors along with drum brake shoes and hardware.

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.
