Abstract: A slack adjuster having a single, unitary housing that changes in length to compensate for brake pad wear in a rail car braking system. A threaded tension rod extends a variable length from the housing depending on rotation of the tension rod relative to the housing. A clutch assembly enclosed within a rod guide controls rotation of the tension rod and an overtravel assembly positioned in the single housing controls whether the clutch assembly will allow or prevent rotation of the threaded rod. A control rod and actuating tube transmit the controlling forces to the overtravel assembly so that the tension rod will be retained in a new length when the slack adjuster needs to take up slack in the braking system.

Abstract: A disc brake including a brake actuation mechanism and an adjustment mechanism, which is configured to provide, in addition to a reduction of the clearance between a brake pad and a brake disc during brake application, a further increase of the clearance during brake release motion with a value, which may be smaller, equal or larger than the previous clearance reduction. The brake actuation mechanism for that purpose could provide a different regulator unit. Moreover, the invention suggests a method for adjusting the clearance between a brake pad and a brake disc providing a clearance increase during brake release motion, accordingly.

Abstract: An anchor assembly is provided that permits adjustment of the brake shoes in a drum brake to account for wear. The assembly includes first and second adjuster shafts each having a plurality of threads and first and second pilot connectors. The pilot connectors each have a plurality of threads in engagement with the threads of a corresponding adjuster shaft. The pilot connectors each engage one end of a corresponding brake shoe. Rotation of each adjuster shaft causes longitudinal movement of a corresponding pilot connector in engagement with a corresponding brake shoe along an axis to adjust a position of the brake shoe.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuation device for a brake (40, 41, 42, 43, 50), for applying an output force (FA) to means (40, 41, 42, 43, 50) which generate braking force, depending on an input parameter (FE), comprising a lever (1) and a force generator (7) which brings a force (FFeder) to bear on the lever (1) at an effective angle (α), relative to the longitudinal axis of the lever (1). Furthermore, an alternative actuating device for a brake is given, which permits a significant reduction of the power and energy requirements relative to direct-acting actuating devices. The above is achieved by means of a low-friction actuation characteristic as a result of the construction features of the actuating device and/or the selection of materials used. A preferred field of application is in electrically-driven braking systems on commercial vehicles.

Abstract: A railroad slack adjuster has a threaded adjusting screw, one end of which is adapted to be connected to one portion of a railroad car brake rigging. The slack adjuster also has a clutch housing assembly, telescopic with the adjusting screw and adapted to be connected to another portion of the brake rigging. A clutch disk is rotatably mounted on the adjusting screw for engagement with opposing clutch surfaces within the clutch housing. A trigger housing is telescopically positioned about the adjusting screw, clutch housing and clutch disk. A spring is positioned about the adjusting screw and effective between the clutch housing and adjusting screw to urge the screw outwardly of the clutch housing. There is a further trigger spring positioned about the clutch housing and urging the clutch housing outwardly of the trigger housing. A brake application applied at opposite ends of the slack adjuster to the adjusting screw and clutch housing causes the clutch disk to move between the opposing clutch surfaces as the slack adjuster lets out and takes up slack in the brake rigging during application and release of the brakes.

A pair of opposite facing abutment surfaces are positioned within the hollow member. A first urging device is positioned to urge the positioning device into a disengaged position. A second urging device overcomes the force of the first urging device and urges an abutting surface on the positioning device into engagement with an adjacent abutment surface. An overtravel control device is provided which is activated by a trigger device.
