Trailer Brake – The Guardian Of Safe Trailer Operation
The trailer brake is the core executive component of the trailer braking system, directly determining braking performance and driving safety. It generates braking torque to slow down, stop the trailer or keep it parked steadily.
Working Principle
Drum brake is the mainstream type. The brake chamber pushes the slack adjuster to expand brake shoes outward, pressing tightly against the inner wall of the rotating brake drum, and decelerates the vehicle through friction.
Classification & Characteristics
- Mechanical Brake: Suitable for light-duty trailers, simple structure and low cost.
- Hydraulic Brake: Smooth braking force, widely applied to medium and light semi-trailers.
- Pneumatic Brake: Powerful braking capacity and fast response, ideal for heavy-duty trailers and semi-trailers.
Common Malfunctions
Brake dragging, insufficient braking force, abnormal noise and brake deviation. These faults are mainly caused by improper clearance, broken return springs and worn friction linings.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect and adjust brake clearance every 5,000 kilometers.
- Check return springs for deformation or fracture regularly.
- Avoid overheated brake drums; normal temperature feels mild to touch.
