Brake Slack Adjuster
Bendix

This brake slack adjuster assembly maintains proper shoe-to-drum clearance by automatically taking up wear-induced slack, ensuring consistent pedal feel and stopping power. By preserving even wear across brake linings, it minimizes pedal travel variation and reduces the risk of brake drag that can compromise response times in critical situations. The unit is designed to integrate with standard Bendix service brake hardware, delivering predictable actuation geometry across multiple drum brake configurations and vehicle types. Cross references point to related catalogs and replacement entries, underscoring its compatibility with a broad range of maintenance records and interchangeability within the braking subsystem. In the 41472 category, it supports maintenance practices that emphasize reliability, reduced downtime, and longer service intervals, enabling fleets to sustain safe, repeatable braking performance on highways and demanding job sites alike.
