Description

Overview

This brake shoe anchor pin with circlip groove supports the brake shoe at the pivot point on heavy trailer drum brakes. It keeps the shoe located on the backing plate so the lining tracks the drum face correctly. As a result, braking stays consistent and hardware wear stays under control.

Features

This brake shoe anchor pin with circlip groove uses a standard 69mm length, which suits many common heavy trailer brake shoes. The end groove accepts a circlip that locks the pin in place under vibration. It also provides a solid bearing surface for the shoe web, which can help extend service intervals on busy fleets.

• Standard style anchor pin for drum brake shoe pivots
• Circlip groove for positive axial retention
• Supports stable shoe alignment under repeated brake cycles
• Suits heavy trailer and semi-trailer foundation brakes

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB3201.
This standard brake shoe anchor pin uses an overall length of 69mm and a 32mm body diameter, which matches the dimensions published in the original reference listing. The pin style suits brake shoes that pivot on a plain bore around the anchor. In many fleets, this style of pin runs in a greased or dry steel-on-steel interface, so regular inspection remains important. Refer to the NHVR trailer brake maintenance guide for general information on heavy vehicle brake components

• Length: 69mm
• Body outside diameter: 32mm
• Style: brake shoe anchor pin with circlip groove

Compatibility and Fitment

This brake shoe anchor pin with circlip groove suits drum brake assemblies that use a 32mm diameter anchor pin and a matching 69mm long location in the shoe and backing plate. It also suits shoe sets that retain the pin with an external circlip in a machined groove rather than a nut or press fit. Always confirm the existing pin dimensions and brake type before ordering.

Compliance and Safety

Correct brake shoe support is critical for roadworthiness and stopping performance, so replace worn or damaged anchor pins during brake relines. A loose or badly worn pin can let the shoe tilt, which reduces lining contact and can lead to hot spots on the drum. Inspect the pin, shoe bore and backing plate for fretting or elongation and replace any suspect parts. After installation, re-check brake adjustment and verify that the brakes apply and release smoothly.

Trailer Applications

Workshops typically use this brake shoe anchor pin with circlip groove on heavy trailers, semi-trailers and tankers running conventional drum foundation brakes. It suits fleets that need a straightforward replacement pin for standard brake shoes that pivot on an anchor rather than a cam journal alone. The robust design also suits high-duty applications where frequent brake cycling and road shock demand reliable hardware.

Cross-reference and Suitability

No additional equivalent part numbers are currently documented for this brake shoe anchor pin. Instead, match the 69mm length, 32mm diameter and circlip groove style to your existing hardware to confirm suitability before you place an order.
