Description

Overview

This repair camshaft bush steel component restores support for worn trailer brake camshafts in heavy vehicle applications. The repair camshaft bush steel profile helps keep the camshaft running true inside the brake spider bore and reduces play that can affect brake balance. As a result, operators can maintain consistent brake performance while extending the service life of associated brake hardware. Additionally, the compact 38mm I.D. and 51mm length format suits common heavy trailer camshaft sizes used in workshop rebuilds.

Features

This repair camshaft bush for trailer brakes offers a durable solution for refurbishing worn camshaft locations. Firstly, the steel construction provides solid support under repeated brake applications and high contact loads. Secondly, the cylindrical form with 51mm length and 38mm internal diameter helps maintain accurate camshaft alignment in the spider bore. In addition, the simple press fit style suits routine workshop replacement and reduces downtime. Finally, the bush supports cost effective repairs where the rest of the brake hardware remains in serviceable condition.

Specifications and Materials

This repair camshaft bush steel unit is a cylindrical sleeve type component sized for heavy trailer brake camshafts. Length is 51mm, internal diameter is 38mm, and outer diameter is 51mm, which suits many common S cam brake layouts where a straight bore repair is required. The steel body resists deformation under cam contact loads and provides a stable bearing surface when kept correctly lubricated. Part number: FB2262.

Compliance and Safety

Correct repair camshaft bush selection supports reliable brake response across axle sets, which is important for meeting heavy vehicle roadworthiness expectations. During installation, technicians should clean the spider bore, check the camshaft journal for wear, and verify that end float and cam rotation feel smooth before returning the vehicle to service. Additionally, always chock wheels, isolate air supplies, and follow workshop safe work procedures when working on foundation brakes. Regular inspection of camshaft bushes, slack adjusters, and brake linings helps prevent uneven braking and reduces the risk of premature component failure.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use this repair camshaft bush on heavy trailers and semi trailers equipped with S cam foundation brakes where the bore size matches the 38mm I.D. and 51mm length. It suits routine service work such as camshaft overhauls, spider repairs, or complete brake end refurbishments. Moreover, the bush assists fleet operators who want to keep existing axle and brake hardware in service while restoring correct camshaft support. When fitted as part of a planned brake rebuild, this component helps maintain even braking across multi axle combinations in demanding freight operations.
