The invention pertains to the art of braking systems specifically for use in aircraft which invention is directed to minimizing the problem of the frictional forces inherent in standard types of brake adjusters. In order to minimize the problem of frictional forces, the invention provides a brake adjuster (10) wherein a solid (30) or fluted (44) rod is connected between the return mechanism (20) and the pressure plate (12) of the brake adjuster (10). The rod (30;44) passes through a draw ring (26) of slightly less diameter than the major diameter of the rod (30;44). The rod (30;44) is drawn through the draw ring (26) under the force imparted by the pressure plate (12) on brake wear action, the draw ring (26) swaging and reshaping the rod (30;44) as the rod (30;44) extends to compensate for brake wear. |
