Brake S-cams for buses – Shafts and mechanisms for drum brakes
In buses equipped with a conventional drum-brake system, the brake S-cam (camshaft) is a critical component for effective braking. It transfers the force from the brake lever (slack adjuster) directly to the brake shoes. The precise manufacture of the shaft and its smooth operation in the bushings determine whether the brake responds immediately and whether braking force is distributed evenly to both wheels on the axle. At Peterbus.pl, we offer a wide selection of brake S-cams and camshafts for buses from Solaris, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Scania.
Construction and function of the S-cam in the braking system
The S-cam is a hardened shaft ending in a characteristic head (S-cam) which, as it rotates, pushes the rollers of the brake shoes apart.
-
S-camshafts: Made from high-grade steel, with a head resistant to torsion and wear.
-
S-cam bushings: Bearing elements supporting the shaft in the axle housing or axle, requiring regular lubrication to prevent seizure.
-
Camshaft repair kits: Kits containing seals, spacer washers and retaining rings that protect the mechanism against dirt and moisture.
Why replace S-cams with Peterbus.pl?
Seized or excessively worn camshafts are the most common cause of brakes "locking up" or operating unevenly, which is unacceptable during technical inspections. By choosing our parts, you gain:
-
Safety assurance: Our S-cams feature high surface hardness at the contact points with the rollers, preventing grooves from forming and ensuring the smooth return of the brake shoes.
-
Perfect fit: Shafts differ in length, installation side (left/right) and the number of teeth on the splined section. By selecting the part using the VIN number, we supply a part ready for direct installation.
-
Corrosion resistance: We offer components protected with anti-corrosion coatings, which is essential for parts operating in harsh underbody conditions.
-
New parts and accessories: In addition to the shafts themselves, Peterbus.pl offers all associated components, such as shoe rollers, return springs and grease nipples.
