Knorr-Bremse has been a leader in providing reliable and long-lasting brake actuators for commercial vehicles. The video production from the Liberec factory showcases the intricate process behind creating spring brakes and brake chambers, which ensure safety for trucks, buses, and trailers. Knorr-Bremse Brake Actuators bring vehicles to a standstill quickly, safely, and reliably, adapting to a wide range of conditions and environments.
Key Highlights:
- Brake Actuators convert pneumatic energy into mechanical energy to apply the brake pads against the brake disc surfaces.
- Spring Brakes and Brake Chambers are available for both service and parking brake systems.
- Diaphragm and wheel brake actuators are utilized for both disc and drum brakes, offering versatility across multiple applications.
- The crimped brake actuator technology significantly maximizes the product service life by making the actuators more robust.
- Fewer parts and modular designs reduce repair costs and minimize vehicle downtimes.
Braking Power and Versatility
Knorr-Bremse Brake Actuators play a pivotal role in the commercial vehicle braking system by converting pneumatic energy into mechanical energy, thereby pushing brake pads against the brake discs to decelerate or stop a vehicle. This process enables the driver to control braking force effectively via the brake pedal, allowing for both gentle and strong braking based on the driving conditions.
Knorr-Bremse offers a comprehensive range of Brake Actuators, including spring brakes for parking and emergency braking systems, as well as brake chambers for service brakes. The product lineup supports various braking system types, including both disc and drum brakes, and is available for trucks, buses, and trailers of all major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Reliable Spring Brake Actuators
The spring brake actuators are used for parking brakes as well as auxiliary and emergency systems. These actuators ensure that a truck or bus remains securely in place, even when no compressed air is available in the braking system. The use of compressed air to release the spring allows for efficient control and safety. This ensures that vehicles are safely parked, even on inclines, and makes restarting easier when needed.
Innovative Crimping Technology
Knorr-Bremse’s crimped brake actuators represent a significant leap forward in terms of safety and reliability. The crimping technology helps enhance the robustness of the actuator, which not only maximizes service life but also improves the overall safety of the braking system. Knorr-Bremse was the first to introduce this technology and remains a leader in the field.
Enhanced Repair Efficiency
Knorr-Bremse Brake Actuators are designed with fewer parts, resulting in lower maintenance costs and quicker repairs. By reducing the number of individual components, these actuators offer a cost-effective solution for drivers and fleet owners, helping reduce downtime and get vehicles back on the road more quickly. The approach reflects Knorr-Bremse’s commitment to safety, efficiency, and cost savings.
