Description

Overview

The Q brake anchor return spring Meritor Rockwell Q helps keep the brake shoes correctly seated on the anchor end of Meritor Rockwell Q series axles. This spring helps the shoes return after every brake application, so the foundation brake can release cleanly. This supports even lining wear, consistent brake response and reliable trailer stopping performance over time.

Features

• Purpose built for Meritor Rockwell Q series cam brakes on heavy trailers and dollies
• Locates the brake shoes at the anchor end and helps them return after every application
• Compact spring design suits tight foundation brake hardware clearances on Q series axles
• Simple to replace during a brake reline so you can refresh all anchor hardware at once

Specifications and Materials

This Q brake anchor return spring fits Meritor Rockwell Q series axle foundation brakes that use a dedicated anchor return spring at the shoe anchor. It sits between the brake shoes at the anchor end and works with the other hardware to control shoe movement. Exact material and heat treatment vary by manufacturer, but the spring is built for repeated brake applications in heavy vehicle service.

Compliance and Safety

Heavy vehicle brake hardware needs regular inspection so the anchor springs, rollers and pins keep the shoes stable. During a brake reline, replace worn or distorted anchor return springs to help maintain even brake force. Follow the axle or brake manufacturer’s service instructions and torque settings when you install hardware, then check shoe movement and clearances before the trailer returns to service.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use Q brake anchor return spring Meritor Rockwell Q in Meritor Rockwell Q series axles on trailers including general freight, tanker and tipper combinations. It fits into the foundation brake hardware at the anchor end where it helps keep the shoes aligned under load. Matching the correct spring to the brake family can also reduce noise, uneven wear and premature lining edge chipping. It can be combined with new anchor pins, rollers and shoe return springs during a complete brake hardware overhaul.
