What is airbrake chamber?
Air brake chambers are round metal containers, located at each wheel, where compressed air is converted into mechanical force to apply the brakes and stop the vehicle. A service brake chamber contains a flexible rubber disc called a diaphragm, a metal rod called a pushrod and a return spring.
What is the function of a rotochamber?
The rotochamber is an actuator which converts the energy of air pressure into mechanical force. The type number of the rotochamber indicates the actuator’s diaphragm effective area (Type 30 – 30 sq. in. of diaphragm) and the various sizes available give a wide range of output force and length of stroke.
