Description

Overview

This camshaft washer thin for trailer brake assemblies helps set accurate end float on heavy vehicle brake camshafts. It sits between key hardware faces in the camshaft stack, so it helps keep the cam running true during repeated brake applications. As a result, the washer supports consistent braking performance and helps limit uneven wear in nearby components.

Features

This camshaft washer thin design provides controlled spacing where a small change in end float can make a noticeable difference. The 1.3mm nominal thickness allows fine tuning of the hardware stack without overloading adjoining bushes or seals. The 32mm inside diameter suits common brake camshaft sizes, while the 48mm outside diameter spreads load across a stable support face. The simple flat profile also makes this washer easier to handle, inspect and replace during routine maintenance.

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB3172.
This washer uses a nominal thickness of 1.3mm with an inside diameter of 32mm and an outside diameter of 48mm, matching the original reference listing for this camshaft washer thin application. The flat profile suits use in camshaft stacks that already include bushes, seals and other support washers.

Compatibility and Fitment

This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. E-1113, 1229G2971

Compliance and Safety

Using the correct camshaft washer thin for trailer brake hardware helps keep the brake camshaft properly located in service. Excess end float can create noise or accelerated wear at the camshaft bush and seal, while a missing or incorrect washer can affect brake balance across an axle group and shorten component life. Follow workshop procedures, torque settings and manufacturer guidance when fitting camshaft washers, and do not reuse damaged or distorted hardware.

Trailer Applications

This camshaft washer thin for trailer brake assemblies suits heavy trailer foundation brake systems that use a 32mm camshaft and matching hardware stack. Technicians typically install this style of washer between the camshaft bush and other hardware components to set end float within specification. The compact dimensions also suit use in tighter brake assemblies where space is limited between the spider, bush and slack adjuster.
