In modern vehicles, a special part is responsible for transferring forces from the brake chambers directly to the pads, which is called the FEBI BILSTEIN brand Brake Adjuster lever. Among motorists, it is commonly called a ratchet. This is a special assembly of brake wheeled vehicles, which is equipped with a brake system that has a pneumatic drive. Such a device is indispensable, because it is responsible for transferring the moment of force to the drive and brake pads, changing the angle of installation of the corresponding clamping fist.

The operation of a brake adjuster

Many vehicles are equipped with a brake system equipped with a pneumatic actuator. If it is mounted directly on the wheels, the drive is carried out by means of brake chambers. Their stem cannot be changed within narrow limits. This is fraught with deterioration in the performance of the brakes in case of wear of the linings. Then the stroke of the rod will not be enough to increase the distance between the surface of the drum and the lining. As a result, braking becomes impossible. To solve this problem, use the brake adjustment lever. It has several important functions at once.
