Cam Enclosure
Bendix

The cam enclosure serves as a protective housing for the cam mechanism found in brake actuators and related drive assemblies. By enclosing moving parts, it guards against contamination, reduces wear on the cam profile, and minimizes the potential for debris-induced interference that could alter timing and lift characteristics. The enclosure also contributes to noise attenuation and helps maintain consistent lubrication distribution by isolating the cam from environmental ingress. In installation, it pairs with standard drive shafts and mounting flanges, enabling reliable alignment and straightforward maintenance or replacement of the cam assembly without removing surrounding subsystems. This component is pertinent to the overall durability of Bendix braking actuators and is categorized under 41394, reinforcing its role in cam-enclosure assemblies within the broader 013-001-031 VMRS grouping. Its presence supports long-term performance in heavy-duty fleets by preserving critical timing relationships and reducing unscheduled downtime.
