ABSTRACT:
A brake stroke indicator for use on an air brake having an elongated brake pushrod that travels a linear distance when the brake is applied. The length of the linear distance travelled depends upon the condition of the brake. The indicator comprises an elongated gauging probe having a plurality of grooves spaced at intervals along the length of the probe. Each such groove extends in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the probe. A pushrod bracket is also provided having a flange for engaging the probe in the grooves as the probe is slid longitudinally across the flange. The pushrod bracket has clamping arms to allow attachment of the bracket at a preselected position along the length of the pushrod such that the flange extends in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pushrod.
