Control and drive equipment
Drum brake（wedge type）
Drum brake operated by movement of a wedge.
Expander
Actuator fitted to wedge-type drum brake.
Drum brake（S cam type）
A drum brake using an S camshaft. Easily maintained.
Wheel cylinder
A component inside a drum brake. Brake shoes are opened with a hydraulic cylinder to generate a braking force.
Slack adjuster（auto and manual）
A component transmitting output from the brake chamber to the S cam. Also features adjustment to the clearance between the brake drum and brake shoe （lining）.
Clutch master cylinder
A component converting the force generated when the clutch pedal is pressed to hydraulic pressure.
Pressure regulator
A component maintaining constant air tank pressure.
Test connection
A component fitted to the chassis piping, and used to detect air and liquid pressures.
Other
