Single actuator truck mount brake system

摘要

A brake system wherein the single actuator (40) is freely mounted to a first brake beam (18) so as to align its force application axis with the axis of a first force transmitting rod (90) connected at its other end to a transfer lever (94) on a second brake beam (20). A second force transmitting rod (106) connects the transfer lever (94) back to the first brake beam (18). The mounts for the actuator and the transfer lever are designed for use with brake beams of dual actuator brake systems.
