Page 50
Pronar RC2100 SECTION 3 The trailer is equipped with one of two types of working brake: • double line pneumatic brake system with automatic regulator, figure (3.5), • hydraulic brake system, figure (3.6). The pneumatic or hydraulic brakes are activated from the tractor driver's cab by pressing on the brake pedal.
SECTION 3 Pronar RC2100 Brake cylinders used in the systems are mounted on specially designed brackets welded to the wheel axles. They are membrane cylinders. Air supplied to cylinder exerts pressure on membrane which in turn moves cylinder piston and rotates to axle expander lever. Return of cylinder to neutral position is assisted by draw back springs.
Pronar RC2100 SECTION 3 The parking brake is used for immobilising trailer while standing motionless. The brake crank mechanism (1) is attached to the right longitudinal member of the frame. Steel cable (3) is connected to the front axle expander arms through equalising bar (2). Tightening the cable causes tilting of the expander arms, which part the brake shoes immobilising the trailer while standing motionless.
