Brake Dust Shield
Bendix

This brake shield variant provides targeted protection for the brake assembly area, deflecting dust, grit, and moisture away from the rotor and pad interface to minimize wear and heat buildup. Its rugged construction is designed to endure arduous service conditions typical of heavy trucks and vocational applications, helping to preserve rotor surface integrity and extend pad life. By curbing debris intrusion, the shield supports quieter operation and more consistent braking performance under wet or dirty operating conditions. The VMRS code 013-001-114 anchors its placement within the wheel-end shield family, ensuring compatibility with documented Bendix wheel-end configurations and service procedures. In practice, technicians will find this shield beneficial during routine brake service in fleets operating on salted highways, dusty rural routes, or urban corridors with frequent stop-and-go. Inspection for deformation, corrosion, or contact with the rotor is advised during each service interval, with replacement recommended when damage is evident.
