Air brake system

Have you ever noticed how fast a big truck or a bus can come to a stop when it is traveling? It’s quite impressive! They utilize what is known as an air brake system. Probably the most important thing to know is that this system differs quite a lot from the air brake valve in your bicycle or car. Air brakes get their name because, rather than metal-on-metal friction, they use air to halt the vehicle’s motion. 

Understanding the Components

A basic understanding of the parts and how they work will help you understand how air brakes function. It has two main parts: the air compressor. This piece of leveling valve equipment sucks in air from outside, compresses it, or squeezes it, to be stored in a tank. This compressed air is what operates the braking system.
