Description

Overview

This caliper slide pin bush kit suits Knorr SN6, SN7, SK7, SL7 and SM7 disc brake calipers used on heavy trailers. It bundles the key slide components into one matched kit so you can service both pins on a caliper in a single job. As a result, you help restore smooth caliper movement, consistent pad contact and reliable braking performance under load. The kit works well for workshop overhauls or repairs where you need dependable replacement slide hardware.

Features

Firstly, this caliper slide pin bush kit focuses on practical service benefits rather than cosmetic extras.

• Replacement slide hardware matched to Knorr SN6, SN7, SK7, SL7 and SM7 disc brake calipers
• Bush components that support free pin travel to reduce caliper binding and uneven pad wear
• Components supplied ready for installation using standard workshop tools and torque procedures
• Suitable for heavy trailer applications where reliable braking and easy servicing matter

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB2883.
Use this caliper slide pin bush kit on Knorr SN6, SN7, SK7, SL7 and SM7 pneumatic disc brake calipers. The kit groups the slide pins and bush elements required to service the guide system on one caliper position. Before installation, always compare the contents with the hardware currently fitted. Components use materials suitable for heavy vehicle foundation brakes, helping maintain strength and wear resistance in demanding service. For additional technical guidance on Knorr disc brake calipers, refer to this manufacturer technical guide from Knorr Bremse.

Compatibility and Fitment

This kit suits Knorr SN6, SN7, SK7, SL7 and SM7 disc brake calipers commonly fitted to a wide range of European style truck and trailer axles. Additionally, you should confirm the caliper family, mounting arrangement and slide pin style visually before ordering to ensure correct fit. Correct fitment helps the caliper move freely on its guides so pad wear stays even and braking response remains consistent.

Compliance and Safety

When you install this caliper slide pin bush kit, always follow current Knorr service instructions and any fleet procedures that apply. Furthermore, you must clean the caliper bracket, remove corrosion from slide bores and lubricate pins only with approved products. Torque all fasteners to the specified values and recheck that the caliper slides smoothly on its guides before returning the vehicle to service. Consequently, you reduce the risk of caliper binding, overheating and uneven braking across an axle group.

Trailer Applications

Workshops typically select this kit when servicing Knorr disc brake calipers on semi trailers, dog trailers and other heavy combinations. Moreover, it suits both scheduled brake overhauls and corrective repairs after inspections identify seized or worn slide hardware. Using a matched caliper slide pin bush kit across an axle set helps keep brake feel consistent between sides and simplifies parts stocking.

Cross-reference and Suitability

At present, no specific OEM cross reference numbers are published for this kit; instead, select it based on the Knorr caliper series and the existing slide hardware style on the vehicle.
