Dust Shield, BDX, 16.5 x 9 Brake
Bendix

A protective dust shield designed for 16.5 by 9 inch brake assemblies, this component shields critical rotating and sliding surfaces from road debris, moisture, and abrasion. By keeping contaminants from entering the brake rotor and caliper area, it helps maintain consistent pad bite, damping performance, and overall braking efficiency over extended service intervals. The footprint of 463 mm by 463 mm with a thickness or protrusion of 82 mm is sized to fit standard 16.5 by 9 wheel end configurations, simplifying installation and reducing misfit risk. Within the Bendix ecosystem, this shield is categorized under 41393 for brake related protective accessories and carries VMRS 013-001-114, linking it to the brake subsystem accessory family. Cross references are not listed, signaling a direct fit approach for fleets upgrading or maintaining brake end assemblies. In practice, the shield reduces debris ingestion during wet or dusty conditions, preserves rotor and shoe life, and contributes to consistent stopping distances across varying operating environments, making it a practical frontline defender for drum and disc brake systems alike.
