What Does An ASA Do? ASA’s Eliminate The Need For Constant Manual Brake Adjustment Provide Better Balance Between Individual Brakes Insures The Braking Stroke Is Maintained Within The Recommended Or Legal Limits Minimize Loss Of Braking Performance

Meritor vs. Haldex Cutaway Comparison
How Do You Compare vs.…? Meritor is the only stroke sensing ASA on the market. Both stroke and clearance ASA perform well. All ASAs must be maintained to provide proper brake adjustment. ArvinMeritor Is the Only Supplier That Can Provide Both Stroke & Clearance Sensing ASA’s
How Does This ASA Work? The Clearance Is Adjusted When: Excess Clearance Exists Between the Brake Shoes and Drums Occurs with Normal Wear in the foundation brake The ASA will rotate to the necessary position to eliminate the clearance What Occurs Inside the ASA: Inside the ASA are a number of components that maintain a pre-set running clearance or gap The control arm is fixed to the anchor bracket The toe of the control arm touches a notch in the control disk The depth of this notch is the key factor that maintains the gap
How Does This ASA Work? Utilizes clearance sensing technology. Senses excessive drum to lining clearance on the apply stroke. Adjusts on the release stroke.
How Does This ASA Work? Upon brake application, the ASA body moves laterally rotating the camshaft. The control arm is stationary. The enclosed rack clearance is eliminated (clearance notch) and contacts the control disc. The rack is pushed upwards by the control disc. Rack rotates the one-way clutch assembly, which is allowed to slip in this direction. As brake torque increases, the coil spring is compressed and the wormshaft is moved in the reverse direction of the ASA body.
How Does This ASA Work? As brake torque increases, the coil spring is compressed and the wormshaft is moved in the reverse direction of the ASA body. The movement of the wormshaft disengages the cone clutch in the clutch assembly. The two actions above occur to prevent over adjustment of the brake, and only allow measurement of the lining to drum clearance by the ASA. IE: once the lining touches the drum the ASA clutch assembly no longer senses ASA movement because it is disengaged.
How Does This ASA Work? When the brake is released, the coil spring pushes the wormshaft back to its original position, reengaging the cone clutch. The rack is pulled back to its original position by the control disc. The rack rotates the one-way clutch, which is now locked, then rotates the wormshaft through the locked clutch. The wormshaft rotates the worm wheel and camshaft, adjusting the brake.
