XA-08988-P
Cam Plate
SAF-Holland

In the fifth wheel drive and release family, this cam plate performs a pivotal role in the locking mechanism, translating manual or automated input into precise cam action. With VMRS code 059-001-030 and categorized under 42768, it sits among components that control engagement between tractor and trailer, ensuring secure coupling and reliable disengagement when required. The design emphasizes dimensional stability, wear resistance, and a hardened contact surface to withstand repeated cycles and high load conditions. The plate interfaces with adjacent levers, rollers, and cylinders, contributing to consistent latch travel and predictable release force. Its compatibility extends to SAF-Holland assemblies that adopt this cam geometry, enabling straightforward replacement without modification to surrounding hardware. From installation to daily operation, operators benefit from smooth, quiet cycling and reduced risk of jamming under load. Cross references are not listed for this item. The category context underscores its function as a key element in the fifth wheel actuation and release subsystem.
