Brace Ear, CIMC
SAF-Holland

Brace ears provide structural reinforcement at critical attachment points in CIMC-integrated trailer frames. Their primary function is to improve torsional rigidity and alignment between end structures and the axle assembly, reducing flex and wobble under high-load conditions. The CIMC designation indicates a specific mounting interface and connection geometry required by certain chassis configurations, so selecting the correct ear ensures proper fit and load transfer. In practice, these ears help maintain wheel alignment, reduce bearing and fastener stresses, and contribute to longer component life by minimizing dynamic deflections. The VMRS code places this item within the structural and support hardware subsystem, facilitating proper cross-referencing with compatible CIMC chassis components. For installation, verify hole patterns and torque specs, and ensure correct orientation to maximize stiffness benefits and overall vehicle stability in demanding trailer applications.
