Wedge brakes are another type of air drum brake found on some heavy trucks. They use a push rod that directly contacts the brake shoes and drum, pushing the brake shoe linings against the drum. Unlike cam brakes, wedge brakes have no exposed brake linkage and don’t require frequent manual ad
Read MoreBrake chambers pack the power and force in your vehicle’s braking system, converting pressurized air from the brake pump into mechanical action to apply your brakes. These brakes are critical to your safety on the road, so it’s importan
Read MoreIn recent years the truck brake industry has seen a big shift from drum to air disc. This is largely due to requiring reduced stopping distances for trucks and trailers. In addition to improving braking performance, disc brakes have also improved TCO (total cost of ownership) by offering shorter pad
Read MoreThe wedge brake chamber is a type of air-operated drum brake that uses a push rod to push a wedge between two brake shoes, forcing them out against the inside of a drum. This type of drum brake is often used in heavy trucks, where it generat
Read MoreAir brake actuators play a vital, but often unsung, role in truck and trailer brake systems. Without them, the compressed air within an air reservoir could not be converted into a mechanical force that activates the brake.The brake actuator is responsible
Read MoreA spring brake cylinder is a type of brake chamber that applies the brakes by means of a large coil spring rather than air. This provides enough force to hold the brakes in the applied position, even when air pressure in the service brake system is lost.It
Read MoreAn air brake chamber is a component of an air brake system that converts compressed air pressure to mechanical force. The brake chamber contains a rubber diaphragm, which expands when air pressure is applied to it, and extends a push rod th
Read MoreWhen a vehicle needs to brake, air enters the air brake chamber from the air inlet and a flexible rubber disc called a diaphragm deforms under air pressure, causing the push rod to move. This movement spreads the braking force over the brak
Read MoreThe disc brake chamber is an essential part of the air-brake system. It transfers compressed air from the master cylinder and drives the brakes to stop your wheels. The chamber has a pushrod, a diaphragm and a return spring.Brake ch
Read MoreA wedge brake chamber packs the power and force in your braking system when you apply the brakes. It's a critical part of the truck braking system that must be safe sealed and reliable.Read More
When you press the brake pedal, compressed air fills an air brake chamber, causing a rubber disc called a diaphragm to move and push out a metal rod, known as a pushrod. When you release the brake pedal, the pressure is released and the pushrod returns to its original position.Read More
A brake chamber is an important component of an air brake system in heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks and buses. It is responsible for converting the compressed air from the brake system into mechanical force that applies the brakes.The brake chamber contains a diaphragm that separates the co
