BRAKE A mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction. PRINCIPLE OF CLUTCH • Its operates on the principle of friction • When two surfaces are brought in contact and are held against each other due to friction between them, they can be used to transmit power • One surface is connected to engine and other to the transmission system of automobile FUNCTION OF CLUTCHES 1. Easy to exchange gear
2. Allowing the vehicles to move smooth
3. To connect and disconnect the flow energy
from engine to the delivering power PRINCIPLE OF BRAKE • While operating the braking system the KINETIC ENEGY of moving vehicle is converted in to HEAT ENERGY FUNCTION OF BRAKES 1. It is used to stop the vehicle
2. To control the speed where and when
required
3. Control vehicle while descending along the
slope TYPE OF BRAKES
Universally used on the front axles of Used on heavy load vehicles
cars and light commercial vehicles
Hydraulic pressure from the master Hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder causes the caliper piston to cylinder causes the wheel cylinder to clamp the disc brake rotor. press the brake shoes against the brake drum. EXAMPLE OF CLUTCHES
widely used in industry, especially in the to start and stop the motor drive on a automotive industry. short cycle time
It can be driven or operated manually, coil mounted on the driven component or
pneumatically or hydraulically. machine while the armature plate mounted on the motor or drive shaft. CLUTCH MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Simple steps can insure a good STEP 4
performing clutch when the chips are Before assembling, check the air gap down between the internal plates of the clutch centre section (0.032 to 0.038 air gap as STEP 1 optimal) when the clutch is work, wear is Never let your clutch get wet increasing as high gaps cause the elevated engagement speeds and erratic jerking Step 2 and snapping that can lead to further Remove main component from clutch and damage and poor starts remove all dust and particles from it STEP 5 STEP 3 The flat thrust bearing inside the clutch Wash out sprocket. When the part are should NOT be lubricated and Run this clean, dry with compressed air and taking bearing dry, any oil here will find its way one drop of a heavy weight oil into the to the plates, and create problems needle bearing thoroughly to distribute BRAKE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
1. Check the power of braking of four wheels with
brakes meter and the effectiveness of circuit 2. Check the level brakes fluid and replace it if necessary 3. Check often to the brakes pads because it will blunt because of its hardness and lifestyle 4. Change the brakes shoes for every 4changes of brake pads 5. Check the car’s headlight and brakes light are working properly 6. Do not modify the original brakes system BRAKE MAINTENANCE
DISASSEMBLY : 1. Check the pushrod stroke per CVSA checking procedures at 90 to 100 psi reservoir pressure
2. Check each for end play and oil seal leakage before pulling the wheels
3. Inspect all shoes for even wear
4. Inspect lining surface for heat checking
5. Check lining wear across each shoe
6. Inspect lining surface grease or oil
7. Inspect drum surface for even wear, glazing and heat checking 8. Check s-cam for wear at the inner and outer bushing surfaces, s-cam head and spline areas
9. Make sure the brake adjusters in proper
settings and operation
10.Check the wear difference between the front
and rear axle shoes
11.Inspect spiders- special attention to
component BRAKE MAINTENANCE
REASSEMBLY : 1. Choose and install the correct material and shoe
2. Often replace all shoe attaching parts, anchor pin bushings, cam bushings and oil seals
3. Lubricate anchor pins, brake rollers and bushing area of camshafts
4. Install new drums if necessary
5. Lubricate axle spindle to ensure bearings slide on easily
6. Adjust all brake adjusters on all wheels of the vehicle often
7. Check all brake hoses leading to chambers
8. Check all spring brakes for centre seal leakage
9. Check brake release
10.Check spring brakes proper installation of rubber dust plug in
release tool hole
11.Do not replace different sizes of brake chambers in a vehicle
