Dust Cover
Bendix

Wheel-end dust cover designed to shield bearing housings and seals from dirt, moisture, and airborne debris that can accelerate wear. While specific material details are not provided, the cover is positioned to maintain lubricant cleanliness and prevent contamination of critical internal components during service life. The protective layer helps extend bearing service intervals, reduce maintenance frequency, and minimize the risk of corrosion or seal damage caused by road grime. In practice, this dust cover contributes to improved reliability in exposed wheel assemblies, particularly on long-haul routes and off-road deployments where environmental exposure is greatest. Category 41393 captures its role as a protective hardware accessory that complements the broader wheel-end maintenance strategy without altering braking or steering function.
