246-8776: 49.576mm Thick Parking Brake Piston

A Parking Brake Piston is used to engage and disengage the parking brake. The piston has a series of grooves on its surface. The grooves are used to contain the fluid that is used to power the piston. The piston is attached to a lever that is operated by the parking brake pedal. When the parking brake pedal is pressed, the lever moves the piston into the cylinder. This pushes the piston against the brake shoes, which engages the parking brake. To release the parking brake, the parking brake pedal is released. This allows the lever to move the piston out of the cylinder, which disengages the parking brake. Attributes: ● Withstands high pressures and temperatures ● Manufactured to precise specifications and is durable and reliable Applications: A Parking Brake Piston converts the force of fluid pressure into mechanical force.
