Description

Overview

The camshaft bracket general purpose design supports the brake camshaft bush on compatible heavy trailer axles. It carries the S-cam shaft close to the hanger so braking loads can transfer into the suspension brackets rather than stressing the spider. This layout also helps keep cam alignment consistent and can reduce uneven shoe movement during brake operation.

Features

This camshaft bracket general purpose style suits a range of hanger layouts on common Australian trailer fleets. The open profile gives technicians clearer access around the bush and camshaft during brake repairs. In addition, the simple mounting holes allow workshops to align and secure the bracket using existing hanger faces without special jigs.

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB3009.
This camshaft bracket suits camshaft and bush combinations typically used on heavy trailer S-cam brake systems. Technicians can install it with matching hangers and hardware where a general purpose cam support is specified for the trailer running gear.

Compliance and Safety

Correctly installed camshaft brackets are important for keeping S-cam geometry stable under heavy braking. Technicians should follow axle and brake manufacturer procedures when removing old brackets, fitting new brackets and refitting the camshaft hardware. In addition, inspect the bush, camshaft journal, seals and fasteners for wear or damage each time the camshaft bracket general purpose part is replaced.

Trailer Applications

Workshops typically use this camshaft bracket general purpose option on semi-trailers. It also suits other heavy trailers with compatible hanger layouts where the S-cam passes through a hanger-mounted bush and bracket rather than relying on spider support alone. The general purpose configuration can help fleets rationalise stock so one bracket style can cover several trailer models that use similar camshaft, bush and hanger combinations.
