Brake chambers are used on truck and trailer air brake systems, located at each wheel, where compressed air is converted into a mechanical force used to apply the brakes and stop the vehicle. They are also designed to apply the the brakes automatically in the event that there is a loss of system air pressure. This happens because the air pressure holding back the heavy parking/emergency spring dissipates allowing the spring to extend the pushrod which in turn applies the brake. There are designs to cover Cam Brake and also Disc Brake applications, along with different sizes and strokes. The most common strokes are standard and long stroke.

When air is compressed, the compressor takes in water vapor with the air, compresses the water vapor & puts it into the system as liquid water. Any water that accumulates in the vehicles air lines damages seals, valves & removes lubricants. In cold weather it can freeze blocking air lines & damaging air system components. The Air Dryer protects the vehicles air systems & components from this by drying the air passing through the air tanks and into the system via the desiccant cartridge. A coalescing cartridge has additional material to trap oil & aerosol particles. Water is then removed from the desiccant via a backflow of dried expanded air.

The Automatic Slack Adjuster (ASA) is a vital part of the foundation brake acting as a lever, forming the connection between the actuator & the camshaft. When the brake is applied the actuator moves the ASA forward. The worm wheel rotates the camshaft, in turn moving the brake lining toward the brake drum & diss-engages when it reaches the drum. When the brake is released the reacting force drops & the ASA mechanism re-engages. If excess clearance (wear) is in the system, the worm wheel in the mechanism will not return to its original position - it will have indexed.

The Air Coils ”Suzies” found at the rear of a tractor unit when coupling / uncoupling to a trailer which provide compressed air from the tractor unit to the brakes of the trailer. There are usually two versions: 1. Red for the emergency line. 2. Yellow for the service line. The Electrical Coils play a vital role in the communication between the truck and the trailer, enhancing the brake response times and reducing braking distances. They also provide the communication from the Truck to the Trailer including the workings of the rear lights.

A sensor is a device that detects the change in the environment and responds to some output on the other system. A sensor converts a physical phenomenon into a measurable analog voltage (or sometimes a digital signal) converted into a human-readable display or transmitted for reading or further processing.

The function of a quick-release valve is to rapidly exhaust air from the controlled device. It is normally located adjacent to the controlled device, rather than requiring exhaust air to return and exhaust through the control valve. This decreases release time. A check valve is a device that only allows the flow of air in one direction and are commonly referred to as non return valves or one way valves.

The purpose of the limiting valve is to reduce the air pressure supplied to the front brakes during moderate brake applications. Because there is usually more loads on the rear wheels of a truck compared to the front wheels, the front wheels have more tendency to lock up during a brake application, the limiting valve reduces this tendency These valves are also used to reduce the supply pressure to other auxiliary Equipment.

ABS (Anti Lock Braking System) operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface & allowing the driver to maintain more control over the vehicle. EBS (Electronic Braking System) provides electronic activation of all braking system components & engine brake. EBS also supports trailers & communicates between towing vehicle and trailer using the ISO 11992 protocol. It enhances the precision of braking over conventional braking, shortening the braking distances. EBS still relies on compressed air for braking & only controls the air through valves.

Foot control valves are foot-operated & applies air to operate the brakes on all wheels. The amount of air delivered to the brakes is regulated by the driver according to the distance the treadle or brake pedal is depressed. Releasing it exhausts air in the service brakes through its exhaust port. These valves are made in overhead styles with a foot pedal hanging down, or a floor-mounted version with a foot treadle.
