ABSTRACT:
An adjuster for brake wear compensation. Fundamentally, the invention includes a casing affixed to a brake housing. Maintained within the casing, and operative between the ends thereof, is a spring follower. A hollow tubular member is received within the spring follower and in contacting engagement with one end thereof. A shaft passes through the tubular member and is connected at a first end to the brake system pressure plate and is characterized at the other end by a swage. The swage is of a perimeter substantially equivalent to the inside circumference of the tubular member. However, the swage and tubular member are of different geometrical configurations. As brake wear compensation is made, the pressure plate draws the swage through the tubular member and reshapes the same without stretching or enlarging the tubular member itself.
