Description

Overview

The camshaft seal Hendrickson Intraax 38mm helps protect the brake camshaft on Hendrickson Intraax trailer axles. It suits camshaft assemblies where a 38mm shaft runs in a 51mm housing bore with a 5mm thick sealing face. It helps keep grease in and blocks dirt and moisture around the cam tube.

Features

This camshaft seal is designed to run closely around the 38mm camshaft journal and fit snugly in the 51mm bore. The 5mm section leaves room for the matching outer bush while still providing an effective barrier to contaminants. The camshaft seal Hendrickson Intraax 38mm also helps control camshaft float so the brake shoes apply and the S-cam rotates.

This seal suits camshaft applications that use a 38mm diameter and a 51mm housing bore with 5mm thickness. Part number: FB3180. These dimensions align with existing catalogue listings for this Hendrickson Intraax camshaft seal. The available data does not state material details. However, comparable camshaft seals in this duty often use an oil resistant elastomer that copes with grime, moisture and grease.

Compliance and Safety

A sound camshaft seal helps keep contaminants out of the brake cam tube and supports consistent brake response. Check camshaft journals, bushes and washers for wear and replace damaged components at the same time as the seal. Clean the cam tube and surrounding area so grit cannot cut into the fresh sealing lip, then follow safe workshop procedures before working on foundation brakes. Always chock wheels and isolate the air supply before you begin.

Trailer Applications

You will usually find this camshaft seal on Hendrickson Intraax air suspension trailers that use S-cam drum brakes. Typical applications include curtain-sider, refrigerated, tanker and tipper trailers in highway and regional freight work. In many workshops, technicians treat the camshaft seal Hendrickson Intraax 38mm as a service item and replace it with the outer bush during scheduled brake overhauls.
