XA-0268
Bearing Stop Block
SAF-Holland

A compact stop block used within bearing and support assemblies to limit travel, control alignment, and protect against over-travel of moving elements. This component provides a defined boundary for sliding parts, reducing risk of misalignment that can lead to uneven wear or binding during high-cycle braking operations. The VMRS reference 059-001-001 places it in the Slack Adjuster Components family, underscoring its role in maintaining consistent actuator travel and load distribution across the linkage. Included within heavy-duty braking systems, the stop block contributes to predictable engagement and smooth operation by preventing excessive movement that could degrade performance over time. Its robust construction supports long service life in demanding environments, including muddy, dusty, or high-vibration settings common to long-haul trucking. For installation, verify proper seating against mounting surfaces and ensure secure fasteners to avoid loosening during operation. In fleets prioritizing uptime and safety, an effective stop block reduces the likelihood of bearing misalignment, prolongs component life, and supports steady, repeatable braking responses across a broad range of operating conditions.
