A BRAKE ADJUSTER FOR THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VECHICLE

Abstract A brake adjuster for air brake system of a motor vehicle, which adjusts the brake lining clearance to a pre-determined value during the brake application stroke, the said brake adjuster comprising a body, and a control arm non-rotatably mounted on a fixed point of the vehicle bracket, the said control arm driving through teeth, a motion transmitting adjustment mechanism, the said motion transmitting adjustment mechanism supported precisely at two bearings located at the extremities, one of the bearing members at one extremity being selectable to .I control the required backlash in the said motion transmitting mechanism, the worm of the adjustment mechanism co-operating with a adjustment worm wheel which in turn co-operates with a torque limiting friction clutch I whose slipping torque is controlled by a compression spring and, the said clutch in turn transmitting motion to the worm shaft and then to the worm, which in turn co-operates with a worm wheel to effect the adjustment of the lining clearance, characterized in that the said control arm drives the motion transmitting adjustment mechanism through a pinion and a one-way clutch spring located in the axis of the said adjustment mechanism; the force of the compression spring of the said torque limiting friction Iclutch is precisely pre-set by the thickness of the washer; said friction clutch in turn transmits motion through a dog to the worm shaft.
