Weight reduced air disc brake design for trailer type commercial vehicles

By the means of economical increment and rapidly developed technologies, trade is being constantly increased between regions which are far from each other. Everyday most of goods are transported by Road vehicles. Requirement of importance of competitive and reliable brake systems have been seen that in transport Market. Reasons for preference for a new product in the market are cost and weight. In order to reduce cost and weight, it's inevitable that designing Adjuster mechanism which can be implemented instead of current products. Most of brake suppliers are tended to make weight optimization and general target is reducing the weight of heavy casting parts. Casting method sensitivity after optimized designs that usually require cores and high investment for casting dies show us necessity of optimization on adjuster mechanism. In this study, number of adjuster components is reduced and weight reduction is achieved and above all unique design adjuster mechanism is done, thereby re-designing the components.
