ABSTRACT:
A brake adjuster wherein a solid or fluted rod is connected between the return mechanism and the pressure plate of a brake assembly. The rod passes through a draw ring of slightly less diameter than the major diameter of the rod. The draw ring may be part and parcel of, or operatively connected to, the spring follower. The rod is drawn through the draw ring under force imparted by the pressure plate on brake wear action, the draw ring swaging and reshaping the rod as the rod extends to compensate for brake wear. The rod may be either a smooth, solid one, or it may be fluted or ribbed.
