Service chambers must be absolutely reliable under all conditions for safe truck operation. But not even the toughest road on earth can match the extreme conditions we put our Service Chambers through in our laboratory. This gives us confidence that at any time or place, they will function correctly.

Purpose:
The Haldex Service Chamber is mounted at the brake assembly and converts air pressure from a quick release valve or a relay valve into a mechanical force to apply the foundation brakes. A variety of sizes are provided to match the braking requirements of different capacity axles. 

Operation:
Application – application from the control valve is admitted into the inlet port on the pressure housing behind the diaphragm. When the pressure overcomes the force of the relatively lightly loaded return spring, the diaphragm flexes forward, moving the internal plate and push rod, applying a force to the brake mechanism.

Release - when the control valve is returned to the release position, the air pressure is removed from the brake chamber, allowing the brake mechanism to return to the initial release position.

Features and Benefits:
Special electro deposited epoxy coating
•  Providing superior corrosion resistance for cover assembly and pressure housing

Heavy-duty natural rubber diaphragm
•  Nylon reinforced for maximum service reliability

Fatigue resistant diaphragm push plate
•  With riveting providing a safe, secure, permanent attachment system

Orange stroke indicator
•  Shows the operator at a glance if the brake is in adjustment or if it needs servicing

Top and side air inlet ports
•  For convenience of hookup

Low profile design
•  Dampens vibration and reduces shear-load force


Large head mounting studs

•  Of Grade 5 steel that are press fit into the non-pressure housing giving a reinforced mounting surface which reduces fatigue

Designed for s-cam and disc brake applications

Available in sizes from 9 square inches (type 9) to 36 square inches (type 36)
