TEKSTI ME NGYR TE KUQE NUK ESHTE MARR NE TEM Diaphragm brake cylinder

The brake cylinders to set the transferred by compressed air energy into kinetic energy. By means of a compressed air bar the kinetic energy is transferred to the wheel brakes. Because of their small size and its ease of maintenance usually diaphragm brake cylinders. These cylinders a membrane is supplied with compressed air. It shifts the piston and piston rod with the attached fork head, where the slack adjuster lever is attached. For a different curvature of the membrane leads to different large effective pressure areas. Therefore membrane cylinders in the power output is not quite linear with applied brake pressure (Fig. 3). When venting of the brake cylinder (not operating the foot valve), a compression spring pushing the piston and the diaphragm returns to its initial position.

This is also known as Spring Brake Cylinder are usually used on the rear axle. They consist of a combination of a piston or diaphragm brake cylinders and a spring storage portion (Fig. 4). The diaphragm or piston brake cylinder acts as a service brake, the spring-loaded part of the parking brake. Upon actuation of the abstufbaren Handbremsven-off valve, the spring-loaded brake cylinder can be vented completely or partially: The spring then moves the piston and acts upon the brake. In abstufbarem venting the combined cylinder, the parking brake can be used as an emergency brake. If pressure drops, the two combined cylinder engine would slow the car by the effective spring force. A check valve to prevent a fall in the pressure in the cylinders at Combined pressure loss in the

Brake system. An overload protection valve can also prevent simultaneous operations of hand and foot brake adding the braking forces and damage to the mechanical components of the combined cylinder.

Air brake function A compressor usually more containers filled with compressed air. On compressed air lines does this, the pressure in the tanks pressure on a membrane cylinder. The driver regulates the effective pressure with the service brake valve.The brake force is finally transmitted via a linkage to the respective wheel brakes.

Service brake position

Corresponding to the pedal force, which is exerted by the driver on the brake pedal, the compressed air flows into the two service brake circuits of the motor vehicle. The air flows through the load sensing valve (automatic load-sensing valve) to the combined cylinders of the rear axle and the front axle to the brake cylinders. The LSV controller provides an adjustment to the effective pressure at the respective loading condition. The vehicle is braked. Both service brake circuits also control of the trailer brake valve, compressed air is fed via two independent of each other leads to the trailer forward (supply line and brake line). From the reservoir of the trailer compressed air passes through a load sensing valve in the brake actuator of the trailer. Braking the trailer. On full brake (stop the brake pedal) all diaphragm brake cylinder (tractor and trailer) with maximum pressure be applied.
