Meritor Hand Brake Camshaft

The Meritor Hand Brake Camshaft (also called an air brake S-camshaft or brake cam) is a heavy-duty air brake component for commercial truck and trailer brake assemblies. It turns the rotation from the slack adjuster, which the brake chamber drives, into mechanical force. That force spreads the brake shoes against the drum so the vehicle slows or stops.

Key Features:

• Made for heavy-duty air brake systems on commercial trucks and trailers
• Converts rotational input into controlled brake shoe actuation
• Splined shaft design for positive engagement with the slack adjuster
• Available in left-hand and right-hand configurations to suit each side of the axle
• Meritor brand, an established name in commercial vehicle braking

A camshaft that is in good condition helps keep brake application consistent and braking performance dependable. Replacing a worn camshaft along with related hardware such as bushings and seals helps restore proper brake operation. Choose the specific part number to match the side, length, spline count and brake type your application needs.
