Dust Cap
Bendix

Dust caps are small but crucial protective devices that seal exposed shafts, ports, and fittings against dirt, moisture, and contaminants. VMRS 013-001-114 places this item within the standard protective accessories family, supporting consistent cataloging and replacement planning. Category 41393 identifies it as part of the protective hardware group integral to maintaining seal integrity and lubrication cleanliness in mechanical interfaces. In day-to-day service, dust caps preserve bearing life, prevent corrosion of threads and studs, and reduce maintenance frequency by minimizing contaminant ingress. Easy installation, typically via a slip-on or thread-fit method, enables quick preventive replacements during routine service visits. By maintaining clean interfaces, this accessory helps ensure predictable operation of actuators, valves, and linkage systems, translating into longer service life, lower total cost of ownership, and improved reliability across trucking operations that encounter dirt, water, and road grime.
