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.

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.

The governor valve, which is usually compressor mounted, operates in conjunction with the compressor and maintains reservoir air pressure between a predetermined maximum and minimum pressure. The unloader valve allows the air compressor to operate in an unloaded state, where the compressor piston continues to reciprocate, but does not build additional air pressure in the vehicles compressed air system.

The brake Caliper plays a central role in a disc-brake system and has two functions. First, it acts either as a bracket to support the brake pads on either side of the brake disc. The second, it uses pistons to convert pressure exerted when the foot brake is applied and clamps the brake pads against the brake disc to slow the wheels speed and bring the vehicle to a stop.

The compressor builds up & maintains air pressure required to operate air brakes & are either gear driven directly from the engine or belt driven. Most compressors use the truck’s lubrication & cooling systems, some are self-lubricated & some are air cooled. All compressors run continuously while the engine is running, but air compression is controlled and limited by a governor which loads or unloads the compressor. In the loaded stage, air is pumped into reservoirs. In the unloaded stage (with two cylinder compressors), the compressor pumps air back and forth between the two cylinders without supplying the reservoirs.
