WHAT ARE THE TWO MOST COMMON CAUSES OF BRAKE FAILURE?
Brake failures can be disastrous, especially when it comes to heavy-duty trucks and industrial equipment. The two most common causes of heavy-duty truck brake failure are:
- Brake Fade: If you’re overworking your brakes by pressing too long on the brake pedal, you may affect the ability of the air brake system to generate sufficient stopping power. This is generally due to increased friction between the brake drums and shoes, which can cause overheating.
- Airline Contamination: Airlines commonly suffer from punctures or leaks, which will result in diminished brake performance since the air in the system is no longer applying the correct amount of pressure to the drum brake mechanism.
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AIR BRAKES
Air brakes are the preferred braking system for heavy-duty trucks and equipment. Here’s what you need to know about air brakes and how they differ from hydraulic brakes:
Air brakes operate using compressed air, providing enhanced stopping power for large and heavy vehicles. Unlike hydraulic brakes that use fluid pressure, air brakes rely on air pressure to engage the braking system, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
One advantage of air brakes is their ability to handle heavier loads without sacrificing braking efficiency. They are specifically designed to meet the demands of heavy-duty applications, making them a preferred choice for semi-truck manufacturers.
