Components
This component pumps air into the air storage tanks.
What is Air Compressor?
This device applies and releases the brakes when you use the brake pedal during normal driving.
What is The Service Brakes?
These type of brakes are used at each wheel.
What is Foundation Brakes?
Braking causes friction, which slows the vehicle and causes ........
What is Heat?
A low air pressure warning signal is required on vehicles with air brakes. A warning signal you can see must come on before the air pressure in the tank falls below ......
What is 60psi?
This component controls when the air compressor will pump air into the air storage tanks.
What is Air Compressor Governor?
This device applies and releases the parking brakes when you use the parking brake control.
What is The Parking Brake System?
This type of brakes is the most common brakes for CMVs
What is S-Cam Brakes?
Too much heat from braking can cause ............
What is Brake Failure?
All vehicles that are equipped with air brakes have this type of guage.
What is Supply Pressure Gauge?
Each tank is equipped with this component at the bottom.
What is Air Tank Drains?
This device uses parts of the service and parking brake systems to stop the vehicle in a brake system failure.
What is The Emergency Brake System?
In this type of brakes, the brake chamber push rod pushes a wedge directly between the ends of two brake shoes.
What is Wedge Brakes?
This part is used to cause friction (rub) against the drum when activated.
What is Brake Lining or Brake Shoes?
Tractor and straight truck spring brakes will come fully on when air pressure drops to a range of.......
What is 40 to 20psi?
This component is installed in the first tank that protects the air system from exploding.
What is Safety Relief Valve?
This device can be operated by turning a quarter turn or by pulling a cable.
What is Air Tank Drain?
This type of brakes uses a power screw that clamps the rotor between two brake lining pads of a caliper.
What is Disc Brakes?
Air pressure pushes the rod out, moving the slack adjuster, thus twisting the brake camshaft.
What is S-Cam Brakes?
This gauge shows how much air pressure you are applying to the brakes.
What is Application Pressure Gauge?
This component may be air cooled or may be cooled by the engine cooling system.
What is Air Compressor?
This device is usually in the normal position but has the ability to cut brakes by half.
What is Front Brake Limiting Valve?
These parts are located on each end of the vehicle's axles. Hint the wheels are bolted to them.
What is Brake Drums?
The S-Cam forces the brake shoes from one another and presses them against the inside of the brake drum.
What is away?
If vehicles have a dual air brake system, what possible types of gauges would be available?
What is two air pressure gauges or one air pressure gauge with two needles?
