Procedure to adjust backlash with tandem brake cylinders for dual-circuit brake systems of motor vehicles entails fixing end stops in casing to achieve balanced closing strokes of pressure rod piston and floating piston

摘要

The procedure entails holding the pressure rod piston end stop(12) of the brake cylinder backlash-free in the casing(1) and measuring the closing stroke(s1,s2) of both pistons. Next, the floating piston(4) end stop(18) is positioned and anchored in the casing while setting a predetermined closing stroke(s2) for the floating piston. Finally, the pressure rod piston end stop is anchored in the casing with the aid of a spacing device while setting a predetermined closing stroke(s1) for the pressure rod piston.
