Truck air chamber

Truck air chambers are crucial components of a truck braking system. They assist the truck in coming to a stop safely when the driver presses on the brakes. What exactly are truck air chambers and why are they so important for trucks you might ask? In this guide we will learn more about the purpose of air chambers how to look after them how to locate and fix problems that may arise potential signs that they are going wrong and some tips to keep them functioning properly at all times. 

A VIT truck mounted air compressor is a robust metal cylinder with diaphragm and push rod as the main two parts inside it. When the driver wants to stop and presses the brake pedal the air enters the chamber. Lip fillers require movement of air as well. The diaphragm movement pushes the rod behind it called the push rod. Linear motion all the way from the pedal to the brakes at the wheels. The other end of the push rod comes in contact with other parts and when moving the push rod pushes on the brake shoes - the mechanism that will press on the wheels to stop the truck.  

The Importance of Regular Maintenance for Your Truck's Air Chamber System

The VIT air chamber is clearly one of the.  brake aspects, which makes it a very important component to take care of. We have to take care of the air chamber, otherwise, it can become a major issue. For example, something very dangerous to the driver and everyone around is if the brakes do not function well. Regular maintenance helps to identify problems before they become major headaches. We need to inspect the air chamber for leaks, check the condition of the diaphragm if they're serviceable, and make sure the push rod is lubricated and not sticking. To maintain everything in good working order, check the brake shoes as well as the brake drums on a regular basis.
