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 and 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. www.MGMBrakes.com

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 Service Side Service Side

However, the performance and operational characteristics of the MGM 3-inch “long stroke” chamber provides braking force beyond

same force-output at 2.5-inches of stoke as provided by the “standard” chamber at 2-inches of stroke.

driver during “normal” brake applications, but could cause vehicle instability during “emergency” braking.

INDUSTRY SAFETY REMINDER: The Danger of Double Clamp Banded Spring Brakes
CS = SERVICE CHAMBER / SEALED B = 2.00 INCH STROKE

CW = SERVICE CHAMBER / WEDGE C = 2.25 INCH STROKE 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 if either side
LTR = INTEGRAL RELEASE BOLT / TAMPER RESISTANT D = 2.50 INCH STROKE failed the clamp band could be removed, the diaphragm or other components could be replaced, and the unit continued in service as
M = MAGNUM E = 3 INCH LONG STROKE (MAGNUM PERFORMANCE PLUS) repaired.

MJS = MAGNUM PERFORMANCE PLUS / S-CAM TYPE G = G-SERIES While removing the clamp band on the service side of a double diaphragm spring brake actuator carries little or no risk, experience
MJW = MAGNUM PERFORMANCE PLUS / WEDGE H = HYBRID 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”
TR = TAMPER RESISTANT HD = HEAVY DUTY before the clamp band is removed the spring can propel components of the assembly with great force, potentially causing severe
W = WEDGE L = LONG STROKE personal injury.
L3 = 3 INCH LONG STROKE CHAMBER
In response to this safety problem MGM Brakes pioneered the development in 1987 of the “Tamper Resistant” double diaphragm
LP3 = 3 INCH LONG STROKE / LOW PROFILE 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 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

repair procedures or accidents have steadily declined until today they are virtually nonexistent.

Unfortunately, a disturbing trend is emerging within the aftermarket portion of the heavy duty truck industry - the use of double clamp

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 and 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. www.MGMBrakes.com

Background
Clamp Band No Clamp Band
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 Service Side Service Side
2-inches of travel, the operator will begin to sense the “brake fade” phenomenon, which will become more prevalent as the chamber Clamp Band Clamp Band
moves closer to its 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, due the difference in operational characteristics of the chambers, an imbalance may exist in the stopping capability of the Form 5059 Revised 5/2008 ©2002 MGM Brakes All Rights Reserved Printed in U.S.A.
vehicle when the “standard stroke” chamber exceeds its recommended (2-inch) readjustment limit. 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.
