XA-01997
Bearing Plate
SAF-Holland

Constructed as a robust support plate, this component distributes loads across bearing surfaces within the slack-adjuster subsystem, minimizing localized wear and preserving alignment under dynamic braking forces. The plate's flat geometry and prepared mounting holes facilitate straightforward installation and replacement, helping technicians restore brake alignment quickly without disturbing adjacent hardware. Identified in VMRS as 059-001-001, the part sits in the Slack Adjuster Components family (category 42763), underscoring its role in ensuring consistent actuator travel, smooth cam engagement, and stable pad contact. In service, the plate contributes to even load sharing between components, reduces the risk of premature bearing failure, and supports longer service life for the brake assembly under heavy loads. Its compatibility with multiple vehicle configurations makes it a versatile replacement option for fleets seeking to maintain brake efficiency, enable easier maintenance, and preserve braking precision through high mileage and tough operating conditions.
