Pad housing bolt nut for Bucyrus 4100XPCAC

The B007264-01 nut functions as a specialized fastening component within the braking systems of heavy mining machinery. Its primary role is to provide a secure attachment for the bolts that hold the brake pads or shoes within the pad housing assembly. By maintaining the correct tension on these fasteners, the nut ensures that the braking components remain properly positioned during operation.

This component is compatible with Bucyrus 4100XPCAC, 7495HR2, P&H 4100XPCAC, and P&H 7495HR2 models. It is engineered to meet the specific requirements for fastening hardware in these large electric mining shovels. The part is identified by the manufacturer as a 10NUT type fastener.

In heavy machinery, nuts used in brake assemblies are designed to maintain clamping force on bolted joints to prevent loosening. These fasteners are critical for the mechanical integrity of the braking system, as they keep the friction materials aligned and secure against the forces generated during the stopping and holding of massive equipment loads. Regular inspection of these fasteners is standard practice to ensure the continued performance of the braking system.
