 Brake chamber, wheel brake

The brake chamber makes breaking force by means of the air pressure from the relay valve. When the
compressed air from the relay valve flows into the chamber case, the diaphragm presses the pushrod. The
push rod turns the brake cam via slack adjuster and the brake shoes are pressed to the brake drum. For
the wheel brake, leading-trailing shoe type is common.

The slack adjuster has worm shaft and worm gear inside of it. By the rotation of the worm shaft, adjust the
position of the worm gear with brake cam, to adjust the clearance between the lining and the drum.
