Compensator Bearing Adjustment
SAF-Holland

Within braking assemblies, the bearing adjustment component plays a critical role in maintaining precise preload and alignment of internal bearing elements. Provided as a two-piece set, it is designed for service replacement to restore balanced load distribution and smooth operation of the compensator function inside the slack-adjuster system. When referenced in the VMRS framework (059-001-098), these parts support consistent return spring engagement, minimize play between moving parts, and help preserve even pad wear under heavy duty duty cycles. The kit includes two identical components designed for factory or field retrofits, ensuring proper symmetry and balanced preload during service. In the broader Slack Adjuster Components category (42763), this item contributes to reliable actuation, predictable self-centering of the brake mechanism, and reduced maintenance intervals by preventing premature wear in the bearing interface. Used in fleet maintenance programs, the part supports uptime by reducing unpredictable brake behavior, enabling safer operation in demanding haulage conditions, and facilitating quick field replacement with standard tools and procedures.
