BRAKING DEVICE WITH WEAR COMPENSATOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: machine engineering, particularly braking devices with wear compensator, possibly braking systems of wheels of transport vehicles. SUBSTANCE: braking device includes cylinder, piston having inner annular groove and cavity in which is placed wear compensator of friction cover plates. Wear compensator includes sleeve with inner bead and annular turnings on outer surface, rod rigidly joined with cylinder, elastic ring arranged in annular groove of piston and return spring mounted between bead of sleeve and washer secured to rod by means of nut. EFFECT: simplified design, lowered size of braking device at providing constant effort of return spring and therefore reduced pressure losses of working fluid at braking, enhanced reliability of device. 1 dwg
