Answers to questions about automatic adjustment arms (2) Can it be changed manually?
In the previous issue of the automatic adjustment arm technical answer article, we briefly introduced the working principle of the adjustment arm; In this episode, we will answer the questions that everyone is more concerned about, and we hope that the knowledge of these automatic adjustment arms will give you a better understanding of this part.
● Can the automatic adjustment arm be adjusted manually?
For a long time, the manual adjustment arm occupies a major position in the market, resulting in most people not knowing much about the automatic adjustment arm, and even a few users have a rejection of the automatic adjustment arm. Due to the effect of inertial thinking, some users still stubbornly perform manual clearance adjustment when using the automatic adjustment arm. So can the automatic adjustment arm be manually adjusted or used as a manual adjustment arm?
Turning this bolt allows for adjustment function
The answer is actually very simple, using a wrench to turn the worm bolt on the self-adjusting arm can indeed adjust the brake clearance. However, manual adjustment damages the internal mechanical structure of the automatic adjustment arm very much, and it will cause damage to the transmission mechanism if it cannot be adjusted several times, so the manufacturer does not recommend manually adjusting the brake clearance during normal use.
Normal adjustment arm
The automatic adjustment arm cannot be used as a manual adjustment arm after removing the control arm, because one of the most common causes of damage to the adjustment arm is the locking failure, that is, it cannot play the role of fixing the gap. If the control arm is removed to be used as a hand adjustment arm, the mechanism inside the automatic adjustment arm cannot meet the self-locking conditions. With each brake press, the mechanism inside the adjustment arm rotates a little, resulting in a larger and larger brake clearance and the end result is brake failure.
● The original car is a model with a manual arm, can I modify the self-adjusting arm by myself?
If you want to improve the reliability of your truck's braking, can you replace the manual adjustment arm of the original car with an automatic adjustment arm? This question is actually quite complicated, let me explain it to you.
In principle, it is not possible to modify the adjustment arm by yourself, because the preset brake clearance of the automatic adjustment arm matched by different models of axles is different, and if you modify it without authorization, it is likely to cause the brake clearance to be too large or too small, thus causing some unnecessary trouble.
But if you really want to modify, you can also check your axle model, the automatic adjustment arm manufacturer will help you find the corresponding adjustment arm model of the corresponding model of axle, only this kind of modification product certified by a professional adjustment arm manufacturer can ensure the braking effect after modification.
● Does the automatic adjustment arm need to be maintained, and how should it be maintained?
Having said so much about the knowledge of the automatic adjustment arm, does it need to be maintained during normal use, and how should it be maintained? I believe that many cardholders do not know much about this issue.
In fact, the automatic adjustment arm still needs to be maintained during normal use, because it has various gear mechanisms inside, and grease is needed to lubricate it during normal use to ensure that the mechanical structure inside the adjustment arm runs freely, so it needs to be filled with lithium-based grease every 20,000 kilometers. In addition, there is no need for other additional maintenance measures, and it is relatively simple to use and maintain.
Focus on the research and development of automotive brake systems and pneumatic brake valves to promote the development of the auto parts industry!
