Description
Automann 179.SB3030S Type 30/30 sealed spring brake chamber for heavy-duty truck and trailer air-brake axles. The standard-stroke design (2.5 in active stroke) with a 11.75 in pushrod replaces Bendix 165255 / NT3030STD120 and Haldex GC3030 in tractor and trailer drive-axle service.
Signs You Need a New Brake Chamber
- Audible air leak at the chamber clamp band or pushrod boot
- Spring brake fails to release or apply fully
- Cracked, corroded, or dented chamber housing
- Pushrod travel exceeds the adjustment limit during a slack-adjuster check

Applications
This sealed Type 30/30 spring brake chamber is used on:
- Tractor drive axles with cam brakes calling for a Type 30/30 standard-stroke chamber (2.5 in stroke)
- Trailer axles with cam brakes specifying a Type 30/30 sealed chamber
Confirm stroke (standard 2.5 in vs long 3.0 in), pushrod length, and stud spacing match the chamber being replaced. Long-stroke chambers (179.SB3030SL) are not interchangeable with standard-stroke 30/30s.
