the s cam you are refering to is part of the air brake system on tactor trailers. a relay valve sends air to each brake chamber or pot which moves a rod that has a clevis attached to it that goes to the slack adjuster which is splined to go on the end of an "S" cam. they are called S cams because the shape at the end is like an S.
