Camshaft Kit - Short S-Cam, Left Hand
SAF-Holland

Designed for trailer axle and suspension systems, this left-hand short S-Cam assembly delivers the critical cam timing and actuation required for reliable brake operation. The short S-Cam geometry minimizes stroke while maintaining precise lobular profiles, promoting consistent brake shoe engagement and reducing uneven wear on the cam surface. With mounting orientation configured for LH installations, the kit aligns precisely with the brake spider, pushrod, and actuating linkage to preserve optimal clearance and predictable response under heavy-duty braking cycles. The included components are coordinated to support hydraulic or mechanical actuation in standard trailer configurations, helping restore original braking performance after wear or maintenance intervals. VMRS code 013-001-031 places this item within the camshaft-related maintenance category, streamlining service planning and documentation. Cross references SGO 518 30 002 and SGO PRO 518 30 002 indicate compatibility with OE and aftermarket catalogs, assisting technicians in confirming fit during rebuilds. Practical benefits include improved brake response time, reduced noise and vibration due to controlled lobes, and extended service life from hardened cam surfaces and uniform lobe geometry. For fleet applications involving highway tractors and heavy trailers, this LH short variant is essential for restoring balanced braking force and dependable safety margins.
