ABSTRACT:
A brake monitor for monitoring air brake adjustment as measured by push rod travel distance is comprised of a bracket straddling the push rod clevis of the brake system. The clevis pin connecting the push rod clevis to the slack adjuster and secured to the slack adjuster by a socket set screw, extends beyond the boundary of the push rod clevis and is received within a transducer attached to the bracket. Clevis pin rotation causes transducer output, corresponding to specific angular rotation of the clevis pin, which output is received by a display device of any appropriate type and communicated to the user. The system can be equipped with a black box-type memory for use by accident investigative authorities.
