Description

Overview

This repair camshaft bush 41mm id supports smooth, accurate rotation of the brake camshaft in heavy trailer foundation brakes. It replaces worn bushes in S-cam brake systems so you restore even brake actuation and reduce irregular drum or lining wear. As a repair bush it lets workshops service existing brake hardware instead of changing complete camshafts and brackets, which helps control downtime and parts cost.

Features

Firstly, this repair camshaft bush 41mm id uses a precise 41mm internal diameter and 55mm outer diameter so it locates the S-cam firmly in the brake spider or hanger. In addition, the 51mm length gives stable support across the working area of the cam journal. The steel construction handles heavy axle loads and repeated brake applications in highway and on-site use. Finally, the simple cylindrical profile allows straightforward pressing during both removal and installation.

Specifications and Materials

This repair camshaft bush suits S-cam style drum brakes that use a 41mm cam journal and a 55mm bush housing bore. Key dimensions are 51mm length, 41mm internal diameter and 55mm outer diameter, so you can confirm fitment against your existing bush or axle drawings. The bush uses durable steel so it resists deformation, fretting and impact from heavy brake loads when it is installed with correct clearance and lubrication. Part number: FB2263.

Compatibility and Fitment

This repair camshaft bush 41mm id fits S-cam brake assemblies where the camshaft journal measures 41mm and the spider or hanger bore accepts a 55mm outside diameter bush. Additionally, you should confirm that the 51mm length matches the shoulder spacing and any thrust washer arrangement on your existing camshaft. Measure the old bush and housing before ordering, because small diameter changes will affect clearance and bush life. If you are unsure, your brake or axle supplier can confirm suitability using these critical dimensions.

Compliance and Safety

Correctly maintained camshaft bushes help your trailer brakes apply evenly, which supports heavy vehicle roadworthiness checks and workshop quality systems. When you replace a bush, always inspect the S-cam journal, spider bore and seals so you do not refit parts that already show scoring or ovality. Additionally, use appropriate eye protection, gloves and approved pullers or press tools during removal and installation. After work is complete, verify brake adjustment and drum clearance according to the axle or brake manufacturer’s procedures.

Trailer Applications

Workshops can use this repair camshaft bush across a wide range of heavy trailer applications that run S-cam drum brakes, including semi-trailers, dog trailers, dollies and some specialised bodies. It suits fleets that prefer to rebuild brake hardware in-house rather than exchange full camshaft brackets. Furthermore, the controlled 41mm and 55mm diameters make it a practical choice when you standardise on common bush sizes across multiple axle positions. In every case, match the bush to the axle builder’s data so the brake system keeps its designed performance.

Cross-reference and Suitability

No specific OEM cross-reference numbers are published for this repair camshaft bush, so you should match it by camshaft diameter, housing bore and length. For instance, compare the 41mm internal diameter, 55mm outer diameter and 51mm length with the old bush or the dimensions listed on your axle plate. This approach helps you avoid mixing bushes that look similar but run with incorrect clearance or support.
