摘要

A brake assembly includes a brake, an actuator, and an automatic slack adjuster for adjusting the clearance between the brake shoes and the brake drum. The actuator includes a housing, a piston moveably disposed in the housing, a yoke disposed outside of the housing, and a pushrod extending through the housing. The pushrod is connected to the piston, and an end portion of the pushrod forms a rivet that attaches the yoke to the end portion of the pushrod.
