Freightliner Cargo Service Repair Workshop Manual
The Gunite 1 automatic slack adjuster has two main functions:
• As a lever it converts the straight-line force of the brake chamber push rod to torque on the brake camshaft. Rotation of the camshaft forces the brake shoes against the drum. Freighliner Service Repair
• As an automatic adjuster, it maintains the lining-to-drum clearance needed for proper brake chamber push rod stroke.
The slack adjuster is installed between the brake chamber push rod and the brake camshaft. A clevis connects the brake chamber push rod to the top of the slack adjuster. The bottom of the slack adjuster is splined to the brake camshaft. The splines hold the slack adjuster internal gear to the camshaft, so the camshaft turns when the slack adjuster moves.
When the brakes are applied, the brake chamber push rod moves outward forcing the slack adjuster and camshaft to rotate.
This movement forces the brake shoes against the drum. The brakes are adjusted when the slack adjuster senses an increase in the lining-to-drum clearance. The slack adjuster’s internal worm shaft and ratchet shorten excessive lining-to-drum clearance. This provides maximum leverage for the brake chamber push rod. The automatic slack adjuster adjusts the brakes at the beginning of the brake application.
