Bendix

Within heavy-duty wheel-end assemblies, this pivotal linkage element anchors and aligns multiple moving parts under heavy loading. Classified under VMRS code 013-002-105, it supports consistent articulation and torque transfer across the brake and drive sub-systems, contributing to predictable behavior during braking and acceleration. It is part of a family that interfaces with other wheel-end components in category 42848, ensuring compatibility with the standard Bendix wheel-end kits used on a broad range of Class 8 tractors and vocational trucks. The robust construction resists wear from cycling and thermal cycling, delivering stable performance across a wide operating temperature range. Field applications include highway, urban, and off-road duties where durable linkage performance affects vehicle control and braking accuracy. Safety and regulatory labeling accompany the product to assist technicians in complying with workplace hazard warnings and recommended handling procedures, including P65 considerations. Replacement at recommended intervals helps maintain proper alignment, reduce noise, and preserve braking and steering responsiveness in demanding fleet operations.
