Type classification 
S - Cam brake camshafts: designed to provide stable and effective braking with good durability to ensure long-lasting reliable performance and safety.
Specialized brake camshafts: designed to meet the specific needs of different truck and trailer models, they can be adapted to specific application scenarios, guaranteeing precise installation and optimal functional performance.
Role and Importance 
Controlling the braking process: accurately controlling the movement of the brake shoes, so that the friction between the brake shoes and the brake drum can be accurately adjusted, thus realizing smooth braking of the vehicle and avoiding unstable phenomena such as runaway and tailgating when braking.
Safeguard driving safety: It is a key component of the brake system, and its performance directly affects the braking effect. Good performance of the brake camshaft can respond quickly when the vehicle needs to brake, effectively reduce the speed of the vehicle to prevent accidents.
Influence the life of the brake system: reliable quality, good wear resistance of the brake camshaft can reduce the wear between the brake components, extend the service life of the entire brake system, reduce maintenance costs and vehicle downtime.

How can I tell if the brake camshaft is abnormal while the vehicle is running?

Performance: When applying the brakes at the same speed, it takes longer for the vehicle to stop (e.g., the normal braking distance of 30 meters is now more than 40 meters), or it takes more force to press the pedal to achieve the same braking effect.
