MGM MODEL TR3 SERIES

3 Inch Long Stroke Spring Brakes And Service Chambers . . . Give You Extra Stroke For Added Safety And Reliability
Elevated brake temperatures represent a huge factor in the loss of braking effectiveness, and vehicle tests have proven that, even though the brakes may be technically in adjustment, stopping distances are greatly influenced by the increased pushrod stroke that results from high drum temperatures. One sure way to increase the margin of safety for brakes on heavy duty trucks is to lengthen the pushrod stroke of the actuator. MGM Brakes new family of TR3 3 inch Long Stroke chambers can significantly improve braking efficiency and effectiveness by compensating for the heat induced expansion of the brake drum.

STROKE (inches)

Note that the performance curve of the MGM TR Long Stroke Chamber (Red Line) is flatter over the entire stroke compared to the output performance curve of a typical 2-1/2 inch stroke chamber (Black Line) at 100 psi air pressure. The slanted red line at the end of free stroke shows the effect a drum at 500 degrees can have on brake performance. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has determined that long stroke brakes provide:

Improved Braking Efficiency Increased Reserve Stroke Reduced Out-of-Adjustment Citations Reduced Incidences of Dragging Brakes

Long Life Power Spring

Powerful, reliable with increased shut height to reduce coil clash.

Positive Alignment System

MGM Engineering designed and patented a system that prevents power spring skewing, reduces stress and adds life to the center seal. U.S. Patent #5,507,217.

Center Seal
Nitrile rubber air seal (not troublesome O-rings) provides maximum protection against air leaks and retains lubricants to extend life. Nylon guides prevent metal-to-metal wear.

6 Heavy-Duty Diaphragms

Cold weather natural rubber for longer service life and resistance to deterioration. Neoprene is also available for increased life in oil contaminated environments.

Non-Pressure Chamber
8 gauge embossed steel on all type 30 service/tandems. 9 gauge on all other sizes.

7 Square Embossments (Ports) 8 Centerhole Shield

Cast into flange case to provide an instant long stroke identifier that is pronounced and easily detected.

Large Head Mounting Bolts

Provides added strength and durability with self-locking nuts and hardened steel flat washers.

Permits visual inspection of Stroke Alert and prevents entrance of stones, dirt, snow, slush and other solid debris.
