Product Description

Camshaft

Features & Benefits

• Spline interface couples the slack adjuster directly to the camshaft
• Transmits adjuster rotation into the S-cam head at the wheel end
• Length, rotation, and spline count determine whether the shaft positions correctly
• Requires geometry checks before installation because similar camshafts are not interchangeable

Bendix Air Brake Camshaft

Motion from the slack adjuster only reaches the brake shoes when the shaft interfaces are correct, and the Bendix Air Brake Camshaft provides the splined input and S-cam output that make that transfer possible. Rotation enters through the spline, travels along the shaft, and turns the cam head to move the shoes toward the drum. For the Bendix K117629N, fitment depends on shaft length, rotation, and spline count matching the existing brake layout. Those geometry checks are important because a camshaft can look similar to another version yet still place the S-cam incorrectly in the foundation brake.
