Automatic Slack Adjuster
Slack adjuster - RST brand
The slack adjuster is a critical component of heavy-duty vehicle braking systems, responsible for maintaining the correct clearance between the brake lining and the drum or disc. Proper adjustment ensures optimal braking performance, enhanced safety, and reduced wear on braking components. Slack adjusters are generally available in two main types: Manual Slack Adjusters and Automatic Slack Adjusters, each designed to meet specific operational requirements.
Manual Slack Adjuster
Manual slack adjusters require periodic adjustment by maintenance personnel to maintain proper brake clearance. Due to their simple design, cost-effectiveness, and proven reliability, they are still widely used in many commercial and heavy-duty vehicles.
Automatic Slack Adjuster
Automatic slack adjusters automatically maintain the correct brake clearance during operation. This results in reduced maintenance needs, consistent braking performance, and increased safety over the service life of the braking system. Automatic slack adjusters are especially recommended for modern and high-utilization vehicle fleets.
