You can identify a long-stroke chamber by its square air-hose ports and (when new) a small tag bearing the letters LS. Safety is key when you’re working on or around brake chambers.

Brake chamber is used to transfer the force of compressed air to mechanical linkages. Service-brake chambers convert compressed air pressure energy into mechanical force and movement, which apply ...

Air brakes have a long history of reliable performance in the medium- and heavy-duty truck markets, yet these systems cannot be ignored without costly consequences. A good inspection process and ...

While it’s easy to hear a busted diaphragm inside a brake’s air chamber, checking chamber pushrod tolerances take more time and may warrant more work than first realized if out of adjustment.

Marathon Brake Systems has introduced new Discstar air disc brake calipers and chambers. The new lines complement Marathon’s air disc pads and rotors to round out the product line. The company says ...

Within the air brake systems of trucks and trailers, actuators play a vital, but largely unsung, role. Brake actuators are the devices that convert the compressed air force within ...

It takes time for air pressure to build up in the lines and act on relay valves, whose job it is to administer actuation air to nearby brake chambers. The longer the line, the longer the time.

Brake problems don’t start at the roadside—they start in the yard with poor maintenance. One of the most overlooked pieces of a truck’s braking system is the slack adjuster. Many small fleets and ...

You're likely familiar with the screeching sound produced by a semi-truck when it brakes. Is that a sign that something is ...

The global heavy commercial vehicle air brake systems market is set for explosive growth, with projections indicating a surge to $ 42.48 billion by 2031. This remarkable expansion, driven by ...

Working of air braking system When the brake pedal is pushed, the brake valve opens and compressed air is allowed into the brake chamber. The brake valve consists of three passages. Air intake ...
