DANGER OF DOUBLE CLAMP BANDED SPRING BRAKES
INDUSTRY SAFETY REMINDER:
Before 1989 double diaphragm spring brake actuators were manufactured using two clamp bands; one to seal the service side
and one to seal the spring parking side. At one time both sides of these units were considered “serviceable”, meaning that
Combination Single/Piggyback
if either side failed the clamp band could be removed, the diaphragm or other components could be replaced, and the unit
continued in service as repaired.
While removing the clamp band on the service side of a double diaphragm spring brake actuator carries little or no risk,
experience showed that all too often technicians did not follow the required safety procedures when removing the clamp band
on the spring parking side, resulting in a potential for severe personal injury. If the powerful spring in the spring parking side
is not properly “caged” before the clamp band is removed the spring can propel components of the assembly with great force,
MODELS
potentially causing severe personal injury.
In response to this safety problem MGM Brakes pioneered the development in 1987 of the “Tamper Resistant” double diaphragm
spring brake actuator with the first “non-serviceable” spring parking side. By the early 1990’s the entire domestic industry
recognized the enhancement to safety offered by the “Tamper Resistant” design. Today every responsible spring brake
Piggyback Plus Kit
manufacturer based in the United States offers only spring brakes utilizing a “Tamper Resistant” technology. As a result of
the universal adoption of a “Tamper Resistant” design for the spring parking side of double diaphragm spring brake actuators,
instances of injury to workers from improper repair procedures or accidents have steadily declined until today they are virtually
DOUBLE DIAPHRAGM
nonexistent.
Unfortunately, a disturbing trend is emerging within the aftermarket portion of the heavy duty truck industry - the use of double
clamp banded spring brake actuators as replacements for damaged or failed “Tamper Resistant” units. This “reintroduction”
of double clamp banded spring brakes into the North American market seriously threatens worker safety in the heavy duty
truck industry. Especially at risk are those workers least experienced in the industry. Well over a decade has passed since
MGM Brakes’ introduction of “Tamper Resistant” spring parking brakes and many in the service and maintenance end of the
industry have not seen, let alone serviced, a double clamp banded spring brake. Younger workers are not likely to have been
trained in the special safety procedures required to cage the spring before servicing the spring parking side of double clamp
banded units.
Therefore, MGM Brakes believes the industry needs to be reminded of the dangers associated with servicing double clamp
banded spring brakes.
BE SURE TO PROPERLY “CAGE” THE SPRING IN THE SPRING PARKING SIDE ON ALL DOUBLE
DIAPHRAGM SPRING BRAKE ACTUATORS - EVEN “TAMPER RESISTANT” MODELS - BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE ON THEM.
DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE SPRING PARKING SIDE CLAMP BAND ON A DOUBLE
CLAMP BANDED SPRING BRAKE ACTUATOR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
IMPROPER SERVICING OF A DOUBLE CLAMP BANDED SPRING BRAKE ACTUATOR MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO AN UNINTENTIONAL SEPARATION OF THE HEAD FROM THE BASE
OF THE UNIT.

MGM Brakes R4A & R5A Remote Mount Cylinders...are the original spring brake invented in the rugged logging country of Northern
California. These cylinders were introduced by MGM Brakes in 1956 as the world’s first spring-actuated parking and emergency brake
actuators for commercial vehicles. These “pull-to-actuate” cylinders were designed for axle-mount using various weld-on and bolt-on
mounting brackets and linkage arms.
SAAR and SAHR drive-line brakes are developed as replacements for manually operated lever applied “drive-line” brakes. Mounted to
the frame rail, the actuator utilizes a cable to apply parking force to a drum mounted on the drive-line. An optional electronic “travel” sensor
provides the operator with information pertaining to the position of the push rod - “applied” or “released”.
Today, these high-quality air-actuated cylinders have been adapted to such diverse non-automotive usage as dump truck end-gate
actuators, emergency brake actuators on massive logging and commercial fishing winches and numerous other special applications.
How Remote Mount Cylinders Operate
When the end-gate is closed, spring pressure within the cylinders To unlatch the end-gate, the operator applies air to the cylinder
moves the latches into the latched position, reducing the risk the through a valve located in the cab of the vehicle. As air pressure
end-gate may inadvertently swing open. builds within the cylinder it forces the piston to move, compressing
the spring(s) and extending the push-rod which moves the end-
gate latches into the open position.

Pull-Type Actuators
SAAR and SAHR Drive-line Brakes were developed as replacements for manually operated lever applied “drive-line” brakes on class
6 and 7 vehicles. Mounted to the frame rail, the actuator utilizes a cable to apply parking force to a drum mounted on the drive-line.
An optional electronic “travel” sensor provides the operator with information pertaining to the position of the push rod – “applied” or
“released”.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
e•STROKE ®
– Brake Monitoring System
The MGM Brakes e•STROKE® system provides a quick, accurate brake stroke
status reading for any air-braked vehicle with exposed push-rod brake chambers.
The easy-to-read, conveniently placed Chassis Communications Module (CCM)
produces specific LED blink codes that pinpoint existing brake problems, including
e•STROKE
an overstroke condition, dragging brakes and/or non-functioning actuators.
E•stroke sensing magnetic components are factory pre-installed and pre-calibrated

as an integral part of MGM Brakes service chambers and spring brakes, helping
to keep them from the elements and out of harm’s way. This unique, patented
design eliminates the accuracy, reliability and durability issues inherent with an
Magnetic externally-mounted sensor system.
Sleeve
Stone Good preventive maintenance can significantly lower parts and labor costs. The
Shield e•STROKE® system is an excellent diagnostic tool to find and remedy brake
Clamp problems before they become serious and costly.
Sensor Ring
Assembly Keeping a vehicle’s braking system in optimal condition and adjustment also
®
reduces the risk of receiving expensive out-of service citations during official
inspections, further reducing costs.
The e•STROKE® system’s ease-of-use promotes operational safety—always a serious concern. Conduct a brake stroke
status check during a pre-trip ‘walk-around’ inspection and discover problems before getting on the road, without having to
crawl underneath the vehicle.
‘Real time’ monitoring is also possible with the CCM mounted inside the vehicle—the LEDs display constant feedback as
the vehicle is driven and the brakes are applied. With e•STROKE®, knowing the state of a vehicle’s braking system is very
easy.
e•STROKE® warnings can lead to the discovery of: SPECIFICATIONS:
• Soft or broken return spring in foundation brake or actuator Chassis Communications Module (CCM)—
• Worn bushings (cam tube or spider brake) Dimensions: 7” W x 3.75” H x 2” D
• Poor automatic slack maintenance Weight: 2 ± 0.5 lbs.
• Improper parking brake release by operator Power: 9.5 to 30 VDC
• Brake drum expanded by overheating Cable Connectors: Metri-Pack Sealed 150 & 280 Series,
• Drum warpage or out-of-round condition IP66 rated
• Excessive mechanism deflection
• Defective or worn spring brake Sensor/Cable Assembly—
• Broken parking brake power spring Power: 5 VDC supplied by CCM
• Brake adjustment done incorrectly Sensor Cable Lengths: 8’ to 60’
• Low voltage system SAE J1128 and J2202 requirements
Cable Connectors: Metri-Pack Sealed 150 Series, IP66 rated
Operating Temperature: -40°F to +176°F

HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM REPLACEMENT
1.0 PURPOSE:
To notify customers of coating conversion from current Yellow Zinc Dichromate (hexavalent chromium) to clear
trivalent chromate.
2.0 BACKGROUND:
Hexavalent chromium is used in surface coatings for corrosion protection in many vehicle components. On
February 28, 2006, the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) issued
final rule concerning Hexavalent chromium. The OSHA directive stated that Hexavalent chromium was
a carcinogen and set new limits for exposure to this hazardous material. The European Union’s directive 2000/53/
EC [1] known as the End of Life Vehicle Directive (ELVD) governs permissible use, reuse, recycling, and recovery
of end-of-life vehicles and their components. The objective of the ELVD is to encourage vehicle manufacturers to
limit the use of hazardous materials in their products. Hexavalent chromium is one of the materials controlled by
the ELVD, which calls for a total phasing out of hexavalent chromium coatings by July 2007.
3.0 SCOPE:
Hexavalent chromium is a key component of the yellow zinc dichromate plating used for corrosion protection
on clamp bands, clamp band bolts, continuous rings, and other hardware. MGM Brakes will be replacing the
yellow zinc dichromate coating on all components with a trivalent zinc chromate.
4.0 TIMELINE:
TECHNICAL
The new trivalent zinc chromate coating will be phased into production beginning in early 2007.
5.0 APPEARENCE:
The new coating will be clear or clear with a blue tint.
6.0 CORROSION PROTECTION:
The new coating will offer equal or greater salt spray protection when compared to yellow zinc dichromate.

DOUBLE DIAPHRAGM TO PISTON CONVERSION CHART
1.0 PURPOSE:
The purpose of this technical bulletin is to recommend a MJ-ET piston type air brake actuator replacement for various
MG-T’s and double diaphragm models.
CAUTION:
The recommended MJ-ET replacement may have more parking force than the model it is replacing. An anti
compounding valve may be required to prevent excess braking torque. Note: The J-Series (Magnum Performance
Plus) models listed on the chart below are 3.00 inch stroke actuators. Ensure that installations have proper clearance
for 3.00 inches of stroke.

MGM Brakes recommends replacing both brakes on an axle if force and/or stroke is different than unit being
replaced.
2.0 CROSS REFERENCE CHART:

The following chart provides an easy cross reference for selecting a MJ-ET piston type air brake actuator to replace a
MG-T or double diaphragm air brake actuator.
3.0 MODEL NUMBER DEFINITIONS:

Model numbers for double diaphragm air brake actuators describe the diaphragm size. A model TR2430 describes a
type 24 service chamber diaphragm and a type 30 spring chamber diaphragm. Model numbers for piston type air
brake actuators describe the service chamber diaphragm size and a level of parking chamber force. A model
M2420LG-T describes a type 24 service chamber diaphragm and a parking chamber having 1410 lbs. ± 10% force
output at 1.25 inch stroke (see chart below).

(A) Hold-Off Pressure (psig) is measured as decreasing air pressure at .200 inch of full “OFF” stroke position
(zero stroke).
(B) Parking Force (lbs. ± 10%) is measured at 1.25 inches of stroke.

PROCEDURE TO CUT A PUSH-ROD
PROCEDURE: TO CUT THE SERVICE PUSH-ROD TO PROPER LENGTH
! Warning: Do not attempt to service or dissemble the spring chamber or any spring brake actuator.
A large spring in the spring chamber having extreme force could cause serious bodily injury if it
were suddenly released due to inadvertent removal of this clamp or tamper-resistant head.
IMPORTANT: Place blocks under wheels to prevent vehicle runaway before removing air brake actuators.
(a) REMOVE WORN OR NON-FUNCTIONAL UNIT FROM VEHICLE. Determine manufacturer and model of unit to be
replaced. Refer to that manufacturer’s service manual for caging and removal instructions.
(b) Make sure the spring chamber of the removed actuator is fully released (power spring caged) and the service brake
push-rod is fully retracted to zero stroke position (i.e. brake fully released).
(c) Measure and record the “X” and “Y” dimensions (Figure 1).
“X” Dimension - The dimension from bottom of actuator to end of push-rod.
“Y” Dimension - The dimension from bottom of actuator to centerline of yoke pin.
Figure 1 Figure 2
TECHNICAL
X
NOTE: If for some reason the spring chamber power spring cannot be caged and fully released, then the “X” and “Y” dimensions will need to be measured from another actuator
of the exact type from the same vehicle provided it is retracted to its zero stroke position (brake fully released) and was operating correctly.
(d) Before marking push-rod to be cut on a new unit, be sure the spring chamber and push-rod are fully retracted to the
zero position. (This may be done with the manual caging bolt or by applying 90-100 psi air pressure to the spring
chamber air inlet port.)
(e) Take measured “X” dimension from the removed unit and mark push-rod of new unit from the bottom of the
actuator.
(f) Thread yoke jam nut past mark on push-rod. Align bottom edge of nut with mark.
(g) Use a sharp hack-saw and cut push-rod on the mark (Figure 2).
(h) After cutting rod, thread jam nut off to clean up the thread.
(i) Thread yoke onto the push-rod. Yoke from removed unit may be reused provided yoke pin hole is not worn. Adjust
yoke to the same “Y” dimension as measured from the removed unit.
(j) Hold yoke to prevent it from turning and tighten jam nut against yoke 25-35 Lbs.-Ft. torque.
TO INSTALL NEW UNIT ON VEHICLE: Refer to MGM Brakes Service Manual for the model that is being installed.

RECOMMENDED SPRING BRAKE ACTUATOR DISARMING PROCEDURE
! Warning: This procedure must be strictly adhered to. Never attempt to remove the spring chamber clamp ring from a double diaphragm
actuator or the spring chamber retaining ring from a piston actuator. Both actuators employ a high energy power spring that could cause
serious bodily injury if the spring were suddenly released due to improper disassembly.
All retired spring brake actuators must be safely disarmed before they are disposed of to prevent serious personal injury from accidental sudden release of the high energy
spring (as much as 2700 Lbs. of force) in the parking chamber. To disarm the unit, remove it from the vehicle following the instructions in the MGM Brakes Service Manual.
Be sure to release the brake per Section (2) of the MGM Brakes Service Manual. Never attempt to remove the head which contains the power spring. Observe all safety
precautions. Place the unit in a steel *container and use an acetylene torch to cut a hole through the head housing the power spring. Cut completely through at least two
spring coils. The steel container must have openings to expose the head where it is to be cut with the acetylene torch and it must be strong enough to prevent parts from
hurtling out should the unit suddenly separate before it is safely disarmed. It is the users responsibility to ensure the steel container is safe.
*Information concerning a suitable container is available through your MGM Brakes Representative.

PROCEDURE TO LENGTHEN AN
EXTERNAL BREATHER TUBE

1.0 Purpose:

To provide a procedure to add a tube section to lengthen a breather tube in the field
when the single/piggyback is rotated to repostion the ports relative to the non-pressure
chamber housing.

2.0 Scope:

All MGM Brakes models with an external breather tube.
3.0 Material required:

8081128 Rubber extension tube
8400025 Adhesive (Loctite #414 Superbond) or equivalent
4.0 Procedure:
4.1 Cut breather tube approximately half way between the rubber elbows.

4.2 Using the recommended procedure in the MGM Brakes Service Manual, loosen the service
chamber clamp and rotate the piggyback to the desired position. Tighten service
chamber clamp.
4.3 If necessary, cut 8081128 rubber extension to a length that will insure a minimum of ½
TECHNICAL
inch engagement over both ends of the cut breather tube.
4.4 Apply an adhesive to both ends of the cut breather tube.
4.5 Slip the rubber extension over both ends of the cut breather tube a minimum of ½
inch.
5.0 Using the recommended procedure in the MGM Brakes Service Manual, check the service
chamber clamp for leaks.
! WARNING: Do not remove the spring chamber clamp ring (clamp closest to the release bolt) as serious injury may result
from sudden release of the power spring.

www.mgmbrakes.com
MIXING STANDARD AND
LONG STROKE CHAMBERS
1.0 Scope:
Installing and replacing brake chambers with different rated strokes – specifically long stroke
versus standard stroke.

2.0 Recommendation:
MGM Brakes recommends replacing chambers with the same stroke rating across an axle. When
servicing a truck/trailer equipped with either standard stroke or long stroke chambers, it is crucial
that replacement of the chambers be like for like. For example: if a 3-inch stroke chamber is
to replace a 2.5-inch stroke chamber, both chambers on that axle must be upgraded to 3-inch
chambers.
CAUTION:

When upgrading from standard stroke to long stroke chambers, be sure there is:

1) adequate clearance for the increased stroke of the pushrod, yoke, and slack adjuster at full
stroke
2) adequate clearance of the longer chamber at the worst case suspension and steering
articulation.

Approval from the original vehicle manufacturer for proper clearance is recommended.
TECHNICAL
3.0 Background:
The heat generated by the contact of the lining against the drum, especially during hard or
continuous braking situations, causes the drum to “grow”, or expand. The ability of a 2.5-inch
“standard” stroke chamber to provide adequate pressure of the lining against the ever-expanding
drum is limited by the stroke and performance characteristics of the brake. As the 2.5-inch stroke
chamber exceeds 2-inches of travel, the operator will begin to sense the “brake fade”
phenomenon, which will become more prevalent as the chamber moves closer to it’s maximum
travel position, at which point the brake will cease to provide any braking capability.

However, the performance and operational characteristics of the MGM 3-inch “long stroke” chamber
provides braking force beyond the point where the 2.5-inch “standard” stroke chamber ceases to
provide braking. The 3-inch “long stroke” chamber provides the same force-output at 2.5-inches of
stoke as provided by the “standard” chamber at 2-inches of stroke.
Therefore, because of the differences in the operational characteristics of the standard

and long stroke chambers, when they are mixed across an axle, an imbalance may exist
in the stopping capability of the vehicle at strokes beyond the recommended readjustment limit
of the standard stroke chamber. This may result in the vehicle being “pulled” toward the side
of the “long stroke” chamber, which is doing the majority of the braking. This may go
unnoticed by the driver during “normal” brake applications, but could cause vehicle instability
during “emergency” braking.

117

FIELD REPLACEMENT OF CHAMBERS
EQUIPPED WITH “WELDED” YOKES
Every day, more and more vehicles are being manufactured with 3-Inch “long stroke” spring brakes and service chambers with the
yoke “welded” to the service push rod.
Because the “welded” yoke is permanently attached to the push-rod, it is virtually impossible to remove and re-use it. Therefore,
unless the non-pressure housing (mounting base), push-rod, and/or yoke have been damaged, or are severely worn, MGM Brakes
recommends replacement of the single/piggyback unit only.
However, if replacement of the combination/tandem unit is required, it is recommended that a unit equipped with a “welded” yoke be
used.
1.3 Units manufactured with a “welded” yoke have a preset “Y”

dimension, measured from the bottom of the NPC to the center-
line of the yoke pin, of 2.25-inches. Because the “Y” dimension is
relatively short, the corresponding “X” dimension, measured from
the bottom of the NPC to the end of the rod, will also be short, at
approximately ¾ of an inch.
Welded
Yoke Consequently, if a replacement unit with a “universal” all-threaded
cut-to-fit push rod is used, the “stack-up” of the yoke and jam nut
will exceed the “X” dimension by approximately 1/8th of an inch.
In some cases, this will prevent the unit from achieving zero-
stroke, or, if the push rod opening in the NPC is large enough,
TECHNICAL
the jam nut will protrude into the NPC and may damage the
Forged Yoke
protective stone shield.
& Jam Nut
Spring brakes and service chambers must fully retract to zero-stroke in order to completely release the foundation brakes so the lining
no longer contacts the drum, and to allow the automatic slack adjusters to properly operate and adjust the stroke.
Therefore, do not use a replacement unit with a universal all-threaded cut-to-fit push rod to replace a unit with a “welded” yoke.
NOTE: Be sure to always replace like for like. Do not mix 2.5-inch “standard stroke” chambers with 3-inch “long stroke”
chambers across an axle. Reference MGM Technical Bulletin on page 117.

ACTUATORS MANUFACTURED WITH
NEOPRENE DIAPHRAGMS
MGM Brakes manufactures a limited line of service chambers and spring brakes with “Neoprene” diaphragms for severe service applications where
petroleum saturated contaminants may enter the air system and come into contact with the diaphragms.
While “Natural Rubber” diaphragms may resist the negative effects of oil and oil saturated contaminants for a period of time, “Neoprene” diaphragms
have proven to be more durable. Manufactured from a combination of materials that insure superior strength, flexibility and resistance to degradation
due to contact with oil and other chemicals, “Neoprene” diaphragms are a great option when the air system is prone to contamination from oil.
The following is a list of MGM “Neoprene” diaphragm equipped service chambers and spring brakes:

Note: (*)
Indicates “piston-type” design in the spring chamber.
(**)
Brake chambers with 2.00” or less rated stroke calculated at 1.00” stroke.
(a)
Spring chamber measured at full “OFF” (zero) stroke and service chamber measured at maximum “ON” stroke. Reference SAE J1469.
(b)
Measured as decreasing air pressure required to activate spring chamber to within 0.20 inch (5 mm) of full “OFF” (deactivated) stroke.
(c)
Measured at end of service chamber push-rod using power springs which have been held compressed to assembly shut height for 24 hours to remove initial false load.
Forces shown are nominal performance (+/- 10%) for all spring chamber model sizes.
(d) Refer to the following pages for performance characteristics of all MGM service brake chamber sizes (pgs. 122-126)
Performance levels shown hold true for all design versions of the same model size. For example...read the same performance for Models TR3030T and TR 3030TS as
shown above for Model TR 3030.
