Air Disc Brake Caliper Monitoring System

The Need for Commercial Vehicle Electronic Brake Monitoring

The vehicles in a commercial fleet are valuable and costly assets, not to mention the associated liability if a fleet transports personnel or hazardous and high dollar cargo as a daily part of its operations. The government and scientific data is clear. There is a direct proven relationship between commercial vehicle air brake operation and the inherent risk or severity of being involved in an accident. Now add in the complexity of being able to properly and fully visually inspect and maintain a vehicles air brake system and a strong case can be made for upfront investment in electronic brake monitoring. The cost of one vehicle total loss, or associated liability costs of a vehicle collision, can quickly justify the need for the technology. In addition electronic brake monitoring can significantly reduce maintenance costs, and identify brake problems before they become more extensive and costly. Electronic brake monitoring can accurately find and identify the following typical air brake system problems:

  Air brake system electrical control and air valve failures (including ice in the air system)
  Broken air lines and hoses
  Defective brake actuators (brake chambers)
  Defective automatic brake adjusters (ABA’s)
  Defective caliper operation (internal adjuster mechanism)
  Defective service or parking brake operation
  Low caliper pad clearance resulting in light drag and excessive pad wear
  Dragging brakes which can result in a thermal event
  Out of adjustment brakes (over-stroke) which leads to reduced braking performance
  Missing brake pads or rotor sections
  Broken s-cam tubes, worn pads and brake drums, and other mechanical issues
  Non-functioning brakes (wheel ends where no braking is being performed)

The Mature Technology – Electronic Brake Monitoring

Electronic Brake Monitoring for commercial vehicle applications has been in OEM production since 2001. Systems have been successfully deployed on Transit buses, Tractors, and Trailers over that
 period of time. To date, there are approximately 8,000 commercial Electronic Brake Monitoring systems deployed across the United States with more being added every year. MGM Brakes has
 worked extensively with the Transit industry in deploying a robust technology for both s-cam and now air disc equipped commercial vehicles. The technology has proven capable of withstanding the
 rigors of an urban transit environment (some of the most severe applications in the industry). As a result, all major Transit Bus OEM’s install the technology as an option. In addition, over-the-road fleets have also installed Electronic Brake Monitoring with success, with the technology proven to be able to withstand the rigors of over-the-road applications

As an additional point of clarification, it should also be noted, that the current generation of Electronic Brake Monitoring technology fully supports tractor-trailer installations with the trailer brake status being readily displayed in the cab of the vehicle. There is no need for the driver to exit the vehicle in order to know the status of the brakes on both the tractor and trailer while in operation.
