What Is an Air Brake System?

What is an air brake system? System components and how repairs are performed

The NM FT-01 brake test simulator is an ergonomic, optional device designed to allow testing of brake modulators (Wabco, Knorr, Haldex) on heavy-duty vehicles without mounting them on the vehicle.

An air brake system is a system that produces air internally and converts air into mechanical force together with the signal from the brake pedal.

Air brake systems are commonly found on trucks and tractor units.

On heavy-duty vehicles, air brake systems are preferred because hydraulic systems can run out of fluid.

Air Brake System Components

Air compressor
Relief valve
Distribution valve
Brake pedal valve
Trailer control valve
Hand brake valve
Relay valve
Air bellows
Load adjustment valve

Air Brake System Faults

Narrowing and blockage in lines
Drum and brake pad wear
Leaks in brake air chambers
Low brake pressure
Low brake adjustment
Oily brake pads
Warped brake drum

Air Brake System Fault Repair

Readjusting brake settings
Checking leaks in brake air chambers
Checking air lines
Brake pad checks

You can perform maintenance and fault repairs by carrying out these procedures.

Air Brake System Diagnostic Fault Detection

Vehicles with air brake systems use systems such as ABS, EBS, and TEBS.

Sensors that transmit pressure value changes alert the driver when readings are faulty. NM FT-01 Brake Test Simulator allows these faults to be resolved and tested easily as if the modulator were on the vehicle.
