Cam Plate 2801 AX
SAF-Holland

Within the locking assembly for the 2801 AX family, this cam plate functions as the rotating surface that translates actuator movement into the precise clamping action that secures the kingpin via the locking cams. The cam profile is machined to tight tolerances to maintain consistent engagement force across the wear surface, reducing creep and uneven wear that can compromise coupling integrity over long service intervals. By maintaining proper alignment with adjacent plates and linkages, the component contributes to smooth cycling, reduced latch noise, and improved durability in high-cycle applications. Its material selection and heat-treatment are chosen to resist fatigue under repeated locking and unlocking cycles, supporting both on highway and construction site operations where frequent engagement is required. VMRS code 059-001-030 identifies the cam plate function for maintenance documentation and service operations, aiding technicians in parts stocking and job planning. Cross-references are not listed for this item, so OEM manuals provide the exact fitment guidance; however, similar 2801 AX configurations share compatible interface dimensions, allowing straightforward replacement during routine inspection. For fleets that prioritize uptime, including this component in preventative maintenance schedules reduces the risk of asymmetric wear, lock misalignment, and unexpected downtime. Safety considerations include reference to the included caution in the available details about known health hazards; follow standard PPE and handling procedures when handling components from this family.
