ABSTRACT:
A brake adjuster providing compensation for brake wear. Fundamentally, the invention includes a casing attached to a brake housing and maintaining a spring follower therewithin. A shaft or pin is connected to the pressure plate of a brake assembly and is interconnected with a reshapable tube. The shaft and tube pass through a die which makes swaging engagement with the tube. As the brakes wear, the tube is drawn through the die and is progressively swaged along the length thereof. The spring follower acts against the die to urge the die, tube, and shaft to a return position following release of brake pressure. Such action releases the pressure plate from forceful engagement with the brake disk stack. In an alternative embodiment, the shaft can be eliminated and one end of the reshapable tube can be connected directly to the pressure plate or to a suitable connection member on the pressure plate.
