A rubber brake diaphragm is a flexible sealing element made of rubber or elastomeric material that is designed to be used in the brake chamber of heavy vehicles, such as trucks, buses, and trailers. It is a critical component of the air brake system and is responsible for converting the energy from compressed air into mechanical force, which is used to actuate the vehicle's braking system.
The rubber brake diaphragm is located in the brake chamber and works in conjunction with a pushrod to apply force to the brake shoes or pads, which then engage with the wheels and slow down or stop the vehicle. When air pressure is applied to the diaphragm, it expands and pushes against the pushrod, which applies force to the brake mechanism.
Rubber brake diaphragms are designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures associated with heavy vehicle braking systems. They are made from durable rubber materials, such as EPDM, silicone, neoprene, or natural rubber, which can resist wear, tear, and corrosion caused by exposure to air, moisture, and other harsh environments.
Regular inspection and maintenance of the rubber brake diaphragm are necessary to ensure that it is in good condition and functioning correctly. Any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks, tears, or leaks, should be addressed immediately to avoid brake failure and ensure safe operation of the vehicle.
