Description

Overview

The camshaft bush kit Rockwell is a service kit for renewing S-cam support bushes, thrust washers and circlips on one axle set of Rockwell foundation brakes. This camshaft bush kit Rockwell supports correct camshaft alignment so the brake shoes apply evenly to the drum. As a result, the kit helps restore consistent braking and reduces uneven lining wear. Fleet workshops can use this kit during scheduled brake overhauls to keep trailers compliant and reliable.

Features

• Complete bush, washer and circlip kit to service one Rockwell camshaft axle set
• Supports correct S-cam alignment for stable and predictable brake performance
• Helps reduce brake drag, uneven shoe wear and hot spots on the drum
• Supplied as a matched set so both sides of the axle can be serviced together

Specifications and Materials

This kit includes camshaft support bushes, thrust washers and retaining circlips sized for Rockwell S-cam brake hardware on a single axle.

Compliance and Safety

Correct camshaft bushing support is critical for safe, even brake application on heavy trailers. Worn bushes can let the S-cam twist or bind, which may reduce braking force or cause one shoe to work harder than the other. Workshops should inspect cam bush condition whenever lining thickness, drums or slack adjusters are checked. Always chock wheels, isolate air supply and follow the trailer manufacturer’s service instructions before removing brake hardware. After installing the camshaft bush kit Rockwell, technicians should verify free cam rotation and adjust brakes according to the axle maker’s procedure.

Trailer Applications

Workshops can install this camshaft bush kit Rockwell during routine brake relines or when drivers report pull, noise or inconsistent pedal feel. The kit suits heavy trailers that run Rockwell S-cam axles in general freight, tanker, tipper or curtainsider service. It particularly helps fleets that standardise on Rockwell hardware and want predictable parts on the shelf for scheduled overhauls. By renewing bushes, washers and circlips together, maintenance teams can return the S-cam support to a known condition and help extend lining and drum life between services.
