A control valve for an automatic parking brake having an inlet for coupling to a source a brake pipe pressure, an outlet for coupling to a control inlet of the automatic parking brake and a pilot for coupling to the source of brake pipe pressure. The control valve is moveable between a first position where the inlet is in communication with the outlet and a second position where the inlet and the outlet are isolated from each other in response to a predetermined amount of brake pipe pressure at the pilot. The control valve includes a spring biasing the control valve into the first position.

A spring brake chamber for pneumatic braking systems used in heavy commercial vehicles such as buses, trucks, trailers and tractors, includes a power spring configured to detect the parking position, the driving position and the situation in which the power spring is broken. The present invention allows the driver to be notified by sending a signal.

A brake actuator assembly including a pressure plate presenting an opening, a push rod that is coupled to the pressure plate, a diaphragm that is coupled to the pressure plate, and a retainer that engages the push rod. The push rod has an outer surface and at least one protrusion extending outward from the outer surface. The retainer engages the protrusion such that at least a portion of the diaphragm is positioned between the pressure plate and the retainer.

An electropneumatic brake system for a vehicle has a parking brake system having a parking brake valve unit constructed to adjust a parking brake pressure on at least one spring loading connection in accordance with a pilot control pressure. The valve unit has a pilot control unit which in accordance with an electronic parking brake signal adjusts the pilot control pressure on a pilot control path. The parking brake unit has an additional brake pressure connection which is or can be pneumatically connected to the pilot control path to introduce an emergency release pressure. The introduction of the emergency release pressure on the additional brake pressure connection causes the adjustment of the parking brake pressure on at least one spring loading connection. A first control unit is configured to provide the electronic parking brake signal to the valve unit. The electropneumatic brake system can have an emergency release valve unit.

The present disclosure relates to a double-lip seal of a pneumatic spring brake chamber for a vehicle, the double-lip seal has sealing performance between an inner circumferential surface of a through-hole of an adaptor housing and an outer circumferential surface of an actuator rod to prevent degradation in sealing performance of the lip seal, thereby maintaining constant sealing performance and preventing fluid leakage.

Disclosed is a rail braking system including a detection and storage device designed to receive first information representing the position of a device for locking a service brake piston, to receive second information representing the supply of a service brake pressure chamber with a pneumatic pressure agent, to deduce information representing the application of a parking brake from the first and second information, and to store the deduced information; as a result of which the information representing the application of the parking brake is kept even if the service brake pressure chamber is no longer supplied with the pneumatic pressure agent.
