What is the role and performance of Regular Release Brake Chamber Disc in heavy commercial vehicles?

Regular Release Brake Chamber Disc are widely used in heavy commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses and construction vehicles. Its main function is to convert the energy of compressed air into mechanical force to drive the brake actuator, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. This braking system is particularly important in heavy vehicles because they need to withstand continuous use and heavy loads while being able to maintain stable operation under extreme temperature and vibration conditions. The main function of the brake disc is to store and release braking energy to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle during emergency braking. It converts the pressure of compressed air into mechanical thrust through the design of the diaphragm chamber and the push rod chamber, driving the brake caliper to clamp the brake disc, thereby achieving the braking effect. The diaphragm chamber is used to store compressed air. When braking, the diaphragm pushes the moving rod into the push rod chamber.

The push rod chamber pushes the push rod to compress the brake pad through the movement of the diaphragm, thereby clamping the brake disc. The actuator is installed behind the brake caliper and receives the pressure signal from the brake system to drive the brake caliper to clamp the brake disc. The spring is used to push the air chamber and the air rod back to their original position when the brake is released. The valve controls the oil pressure into the air chamber to keep the brake pads clean and at proper pressure. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the braking system, regular maintenance and optimized design are necessary. For example, optimizing the design according to the performance requirements of the vehicle can improve the efficiency and life of the brake chamber. In addition, maintenance includes checking the sealing, testing the release pressure and durability, etc.
Regular Release Brake Chamber Disc play a vital role in heavy vehicles, and their design and performance indicators directly affect the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

Performance indicatorsRated stroke: The minimum design stroke of the brake chamber push rod, usually in millimeters.

Rated working pressure: The minimum working air pressure value specified by the design of the brake chamber assembly, in kPa.

Maximum working pressure: The maximum working air pressure value that the brake chamber can withstand.

Sealing: Ensure that the brake chamber does not leak under high pressure.

Release pressure and relaxation pressure: The pressure indicators of the brake chamber in the released state.

Durability: The ability of the brake chamber to be used for a long time under high load and harsh environment.

Corrosion resistance and high temperature durability: The ability to adapt to different environmental conditions.
