Electronic Stroke Sensor For Air Disc Brake

US Patent:
2011030, Dec 22, 2011
Filed:
Jun 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/162691
Inventors:
Thomas Edward Wallace - Charlotte NC, US
Richard J. Rink - Charlotte NC, US
Mark David Chandler - Bloomfield NY, US
Glenn Singletary - Concord NC, US
Wayne Oster - Redwood Valley CA, US
Steve Lepard - Concord NC, US
Christopher Prager - Concord NC, US
Assignee:
MGM Brakes, Inc. - Charlotte NC
International Classification:
F16D 66/00
US Classification:
188 111R
Abstract:
A vehicle brake monitor assembly for an air disk brake includes a brake actuator having a pushrod projecting from inside a chamber of said brake actuator. The pushrod releasably actuates a lever arm of a caliper thereby moving the disk brake into a braking position when the pushrod is in an extended position and releasing the disk brake from the braking position when the pushrod is in a retracted position. The pushrod includes a pushrod shaft and a contact member biased in a telescoping relationship relative to the pushrod shaft and the lever arm of the caliper abuts the contact member counteracting the bias of the contact member. A sensor is integrated with the assembly proximate the contact member and detects movement of the pushrod relative to the lever arm and to the pushrod shaft.
