Diaphragm cylinder

Force conversion for pneumatic brake systems Diaphragm cylinders are a core part of the air brake system on trucks and heavy agricultural vehicles. They convert air pressure into the mechanical force needed to operate the brakes. The range includes standard brake cylinders for the service brake and double diaphragm brake cylinders, which also control the spring brake for parking and emergencies. Parts for maintenance and repair A leak in the air system leads to immediate downtime. It is often not necessary to replace the entire cylinder. Separate diaphragms allow for a quick and targeted repair. The mechanical connections, such as the clevises, are also available as individual parts, so that play in the brake linkage mechanism can be eliminated. Control of lift axles Besides braking applications, there is also the diaphragm lift axle cylinder. This type uses air pressure to lift an axle on a semi-trailer or agricultural trailer. This reduces tyre wear and fuel consumption when the vehicle is not fully loaded, improving efficiency in transport and agriculture.
