Description

Overview

The caliper thrust plate Meritor DX195 is a small but critical component inside the air disc brake caliper. It transfers force from the brake actuator into the pad set so the lining loads evenly against the rotor. This plate suits Meritor DX195 style calipers used on heavy truck and trailer applications and helps maintain consistent braking performance over long service intervals.

Features

• Designed to suit Meritor DX195 air disc brake calipers on heavy vehicles.
• Supports even pad loading so braking remains smooth and predictable.
• Compact thrust plate format for easy handling during caliper service.
• Suitable for workshop overhauls and in-service caliper repairs.

Specifications and Materials

This caliper thrust plate fits into the Meritor DX195 air disc brake caliper body and works with the actuator and pad hardware to transmit clamp force. It is intended for use in heavy duty on road braking systems where stable, repeatable performance is required. Service technicians should always inspect the plate contact faces and replace worn parts to keep the brake response consistent. Part number: FB2948.

Compliance and Safety

Air disc brake hardware operates under high load, so technicians must follow recognised workshop procedures during fitting. Always depressurise the air system, chock wheels, and isolate the vehicle before opening the caliper. Additionally, use suitable personal protective equipment while handling brake components and cleaning housings. After installation, check that the caliper moves freely, confirm correct pad seating, and verify brake operation during a controlled test run. Regular inspections help keep the braking system within fleet safety and compliance expectations.

Trailer Applications

This caliper thrust plate Meritor DX195 is suited to heavy trailers and prime movers that run DX195 air disc brakes on highway and regional freight work. Typical applications include curtain siders, refrigerated trailers, tankers, and other combinations where reliable braking is essential. When used as part of a full caliper overhaul, it helps restore consistent pad loading and assists with even rotor wear. In addition, keeping this hardware in good condition can reduce noise complaints and extend lining life.
