Parking Brake Actuator
Pneumatic Power Assist Actuator:
Due to state and provincial DOT regulations and civil litigation issues it would appear that we are stuck with the OEM park brake handle and its location forever, as well as its basic mode of operation; therefore a power assist mode on the handle was the only option available if one wanted to have a legal powered park brake circuit. |
The actuator shall have the following design features:
- It shall be powered by the coach air system.
- It shall have components that will tolerate a "damp air" supply system.
- It shall permit full OEM operation of the Parking Brake handle in the event of an actuator component failure.
- It shall be capable of supplying upwards of 600 pounds pull on the intermediate cable.
- It shall be capable of a complete cycle in under 2 seconds. (emergency brake ? ).
