Slack Adjuster

A slack adjuster is a device used in air brake systems on vehicles to maintain proper tension on the brake pads or shoes. It is responsible for adjusting the distance between the brake shoe and the drum as the brake pads wear down, ensuring optimal braking performance. The slack adjuster automatically adjusts the brake pads to compensate for wear and maintain consistent braking power. It is an essential component of the braking system to ensure safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.
