Bendix Friction SDR5730 Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Bendix Severe Duty Rotor SDR5730 Overview

The Bendix Severe Duty Rotor SDR5730 is a rear disc brake rotor built for demanding fleet and pursuit use. It is engineered for consistent braking performance on heavy-duty trucks that need controlled stopping under repeated load.

Compatible with 2005-2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty rear applications and 2005-2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty rear applications with single rear wheels, this rotor supports severe-duty service where heat management and machining accuracy matter.

Key Features

• Mill balancing and OEM-driven machining specifications for consistent rotor finish and runout control
• Focused range for police and fleet service
• OEM vane configurations to match original airflow and cooling geometry
• Manufacturing control with precise machining tolerances
• ACP alloyed-carbon performance casting for thermal stability and strength under severe duty demands

Product Line Details

Bendix Severe Duty Rotor SDR is part of Bendix Friction’s severe-duty brake rotor line for work trucks, fleet vehicles, and pursuit platforms. The line emphasizes controlled manufacturing, OE-style vane design, and machining consistency for applications that see frequent braking, higher heat, and repeated stop-and-go use.

Detailed Description

The SDR5730 rear rotor is built around the needs of Ford Super Duty owners who put their trucks to work. The alloyed-carbon casting helps the rotor handle elevated temperatures, while OEM vane configurations and mill balancing support stable operation during repeated braking events. For buyers searching for a rear brake rotor for a 2005-2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty or a rear rotor for a 2005-2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty with single rear wheels, this part number provides a direct severe-duty option.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake vibration caused by rotor imbalance or uneven machining
• Heat-related brake fade during repeated stops
• Rotor wear in fleet and work-truck service
• Inconsistent braking feel on heavy-duty rear axle applications
• Cooling limitations from non-OE vane geometry

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle configuration before ordering. This rotor fits 2005-2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty rear and 2005-2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty rear with single rear wheels. Inspect pads, calipers, hub surfaces, and wheel bearings during rotor replacement, and clean all mating surfaces before installation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications and bedding procedure after installation of the SDR5730.

Quality Assurance

Bendix Friction applies manufacturing control, OEM-driven machining specifications, and precise tolerances to support repeatable rotor quality. The severe-duty rotor design uses ACP alloyed-carbon castings for strength and thermal stability in demanding service.
