A manual slack adjuster is a type of brake system component that allows for manual adjustments of the brake shoes in drum brake systems. It plays an essential role in ensuring that the brake shoes maintain proper clearance from the brake drum. The 19mm adjusting nut refers to the size of the nut used to make the necessary adjustments to the slack adjuster during maintenance.
Key Features:
Manual Adjustment:
The manual slack adjuster requires a mechanic or technician to manually adjust the brake shoes by turning the adjusting nut. This ensures that the correct gap is maintained between the brake shoes and the drum, which is necessary for efficient braking performance.
19mm Adjusting Nut:
The adjusting nut is typically 19mm in size, which is the standard size for the nut that is turned to adjust the brake clearance. The size of the nut ensures proper fit and provides enough torque to adjust the slack when needed.
Durability and Construction:
Manual slack adjusters are typically made of high-strength forged steel or similar materials to withstand the forces of the brake system. They feature a lever and cam mechanism that translates the rotational force from the adjusting nut into the necessary movement to adjust the brake shoes.
Simple Design:
The manual slack adjuster features a straightforward design with minimal moving parts, making it easier to service and maintain.
