Bendix

Designed for robust operator input within heavy-duty braking controls, this compact actuation device functions as a tactile switch that signals the control module to initiate or modify valve operation. Engineered to perform reliably in harsh cab and engine environments, it delivers consistent actuation force and a precise tactile feel, reducing operator fatigue and improving response time during critical braking events. The unit integrates seamlessly with standard mounting patterns, ensuring straightforward installation within dash or console assemblies. Its sealed construction provides resistance to dust, moisture, and vibration, helping to maintain reliable electrical contact throughout the vehicle’s service life. In practice, this component contributes to safer braking performance by ensuring that input signals are registered cleanly by the brake control system, preventing misfires or delayed responses that could affect stopping distance. Compatibility considerations include alignment with Bendix dash valve and console interfaces, as well as integration with common electrical harness geometries found in commercial trucking applications. The VMRS code 013-003-086 identifies its role within the electrical and control-signal subset of braking-system components, while the category designation 42848 places it in the broader family of control and actuator hardware used across valve assemblies and related accessories.
