The brake mechanism of the rear wheel is drum, with automatic adjustment of the gap between the pads and drums
The automatic gap adjustment device is located in the working cylinder.
In figure 2, the working cylinder of the rear wheel
Its main element is a split thrust ring 9 (Fig. 2) mounted on the piston 4 between the collar of the thrust screw 10 and two crackers 8 with a gap of 1.25–1.65 mm.
Thrust rings 9 are inserted into the cylinder with an interference fit, providing a shear force of the ring along the cylinder mirror of at least 343 N (35 kgf), which exceeds the force on the piston from the coupling springs 2 and 8 (see Fig. 1) of the brake shoes.
When, due to the wear of the linings, a gap of 1.25–1.65 mm is completely selected, the collar on the thrust screw 10 (see Fig. 1) is pressed against the collar of the ring 9, as a result of which the thrust ring is shifted after the piston by the amount of wear .
When braking stops, the pistons are shifted by the force of the coupling springs until the crackers stop against the collar of the thrust ring.
Thus, the optimal clearance between the pads and the drum is automatically maintained.
