Beral TGX, TGS 2009 Parts Catalog

I’ve been turning wrenches since before most of you were born, and I’ve seen more shade-tree part swaps fail because the guy grabbed the wrong pad or disc than I can count. If you’re working on a MAN TGX or TGS, you need the exact OEM part numbers – not some aftermarket cross-reference that’s two digits off. This Beral TGX, TGS 2009 Parts Catalog is the real deal: 207 pages of factory-sourced data, straight from the same supplier that puts original equipment on those trucks. Page 2 alone gives you the part number 2917930004145504, material 4550, caliper type Knorr-Bremse SN7, wheel size 22.5”, fitment front and rear, and the OE reference 81.50820.6056. That’s the kind of detail you need to order the right parts the first time.

Brake Pad and Disc Specifications for TGX/TGS

This catalog covers the 2009–2010 model years for both the TGX and TGS. It lists pad and disc assemblies, including the patented cast-iron backing plates with the integrated V-groove that Beral uses for better heat distribution. The test data on page 4 – yes, they actually printed an independent brake test – shows a 15‑meter shorter stopping distance compared to competitors on a loaded 18-ton truck. That’s not marketing fluff; that’s real-world data you can verify. The catalog also includes the load range (18–50 tons) and construction year from 10/07 onward. If you’re dealing with a truck that’s been retrofitted with aftermarket calipers, cross-reference the caliper type (Knorr-Bremse SN7) before you order anything.

Does This Catalog Cover the 2009 Models?

Yes, it was published in 2009 and covers the 2009–2010 production run. The data includes the specific MAN model codes for TGX and TGS, with load ratings up to 50 tons. If you’re working on a 2008 or earlier truck, you’ll want the earlier catalog – this one is for the 10/07-onwards chassis. The OE reference 81.50820.6056 is the same one MAN uses for their factory replacement pads. That’s the number you give the parts counter, not some generic friction code.

3 Critical Specs You Need to Verify

• Part number – 2917930004145504 (pad set) – never trust a re-packaged box without this stamp.
• Material – 4550 – specific friction compound for the SN7 caliper.
• Wheel size – 22.5” – if your truck has 19.5” wheels, this is the wrong catalog.

Page 2 lists all of these in a table format. I’ve seen a shop put 19.5” pads on a 22.5” disc and wonder why the brakes chattered. Don’t be that guy.

Use the OEM Part Numbers, Not Aftermarket Cross-References

This catalog is a genuine Beral publication – the same company that supplies brake components to MAN, Daimler, Iveco, Scania, and Volvo. The document includes a certificate from Federal-Mogul (page 3) confirming that the parts meet the quality requirements of EC Block Exemption Regulation 1400/2002. That matters because if you’re doing a repair for a customer and the invoice is ever challenged, you need to show the parts were OE-spec. Aftermarket cross-reference charts are fine for a quick lookup, but they don’t carry the same legal weight. This catalog is your paper trail.

Beral TGX, TGS 2009 Parts Catalog: What’s Inside

The 207 pages are organized by brake system component: pads, discs, calipers, and accessories. You’ll find exploded views with callout numbers that match the part numbers in the tables. The catalog also includes a multilingual index (English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese) – handy if you’re dealing with a truck that was originally spec’d overseas. I’ve seen guys try to piece together a brake system from a generic parts book and end up with a mix of SN7 and SN6 components. That’s a safety hazard. This catalog eliminates that guesswork.

FAQ

Can I use this catalog for a 2015 TGX?

No. This catalog covers 2009–2010 production only.

What about disc part numbers – are they listed separately?

Yes. The catalog includes disc part numbers alongside the pads. For example, the pad set part number 2917930004145504 is paired with a specific disc rotor. The same table on page 2 shows the rotor dimensions and material. You cannot just swap pads without verifying the disc thickness and diameter. The catalog gives you the OE disc reference, which is the same one MAN uses. If you try to use a generic disc, you risk uneven wear and reduced braking performance. Always cross-reference both pad and disc part numbers from this catalog before ordering.

If you’re tired of chasing part numbers through online forums or guessing which aftermarket pad fits, this is the document you need. I keep a copy in the shop for every MAN truck that rolls in. Access the factory manual and put it on your tablet or print the pages you need. You’ll save yourself a come-back and a pissed-off customer.
