Description

Overview

This camshaft washer & circlip kit for SAF camshafts keeps the S-cam hardware secure and correctly located on trailer axles. It provides a matched set of small service parts so you can refresh worn hardware during brake work without chasing individual pieces. As a result, routine relines and camshaft changes can be cleaner, faster and more consistent.

Features

This kit groups the washers and circlips used around the SAF camshaft mounting points so workshop staff can replace worn hardware as a set. The matched pieces help you maintain the correct camshaft end float for reliable S-cam movement, which supports more consistent brake operation. Renewing the hardware during major brake service can also reduce the risk of looseness or misalignment under braking loads. The compact kit format suits workshops that want simple stocking and repeatable service processes.

Specifications and Materials

This camshaft washer & circlip kit for SAF camshafts suits typical SAF drum brake camshaft assemblies on heavy trailer axles that use separate washers and circlips at the mounting points. Clean the contact faces, check the camshaft bushes and apply a suitable high-temperature grease during assembly, following the axle maker’s recommendations. Part number: FB3098. For background on SAF axle spare parts and camshaft service procedures, refer to the SAF axle spares and maintenance manual which outlines typical layouts and service intervals

Compatibility and Fitment

This kit suits SAF camshafts on compatible SAF trailer axles where the parts catalogue specifies a washer and circlip hardware set at the S-cam mounting points. In addition, confirm fitment against the axle identification plate, brake size and the relevant SAF spare parts listing. After installation, check camshaft axial movement and confirm end float sits within the axle manufacturer’s recommended range.

Compliance and Safety

Correct camshaft retention is critical for brake performance, so only competent personnel should carry out this work. Always chock wheels securely, isolate the vehicle and follow workshop lockout and tagout procedures before starting. After fitting the camshaft washer & circlip kit for SAF camshafts, perform a careful visual inspection and a controlled brake test to verify smooth camshaft rotation and consistent brake response.

Trailer Applications

This camshaft washer & circlip kit for SAF camshafts supports SAF drum brake axles used on heavy trailers in freight, tanker and tipper applications where specified by the axle or brake manufacturer. In many cases it will be used during brake reline work, camshaft bush replacement or full axle overhauls. Standardising on the camshaft washer & circlip kit for SAF camshafts can also help fleets keep trailer brake maintenance more predictable and easier to manage.

Cross-reference and Suitability

No specific OEM cross-reference part numbers are listed for this kit in available sources. Instead, selection should rely on the SAF axle identification, brake size and the camshaft hardware layout shown in the official parts documentation. This approach helps ensure the hardware stack matches the original design and maintains correct camshaft support.
