Bell BN013371 Articulation Stop
Bell BN013371 Articulation Stop is a replacement stop component suitable for compatible Bell articulated dump trucks. It is installed within the chassis articulation area to help limit articulation travel and provide a controlled stopping point during steering and frame movement.
Bell parts documentation identifies reference BN013371 as an articulation stop within the frame, chassis, and supporting structure group. The component is used as part of the Bell Articulation Stopper Assembly on several articulated dump truck applications, including B25E, B30E, B40E, and B45E models.
Articulated dump trucks operate with continuous steering articulation between the front and rear chassis sections. During demanding quarrying, mining, construction, and earthmoving work, this area is exposed to repeated movement, vibration, impact loads, dirt, and changing operating conditions. A correctly functioning articulation stop helps prevent excessive movement at the end of the permitted articulation range.
Over time, the BN013371 Articulation Stop and its surrounding mounting components may be affected by repeated contact, wear, deformation, loose fasteners, or damage to the mounting surfaces. Excessive wear can change the stopping position and place additional stress on nearby chassis components.
Regular inspection of the stop, fixing hardware, washers, shims, and contact surfaces is recommended as part of preventive maintenance. When replacement is required, the surrounding mounting area should also be checked before installing the new component.
