Retaining Spring
Bendix

Retaining spring provides a secure capture for moving components within brake assemblies. The spring restricts unwanted movement, maintaining alignment and clamp integrity under repeated cycles and heavy vibration. The visible color coding in this item helps technicians quickly identify the spring grade or specification during installation and inspection, reducing the chance of misfit parts in the field. VMRS 013-001-017 places it in the retention hardware family and category 41436 identifies its use in mechanical assemblies where springs are used to hold components in place. The part can be used in a variety of braking components including calipers, actuators, and linkages where reliable retention is critical for performance and safety. In service programs, replacements are performed to preserve experienced tolerances and prevent off axis movement that could degrade braking response and pad seating.
