The function of the slack adjusters is to maintain the optimal clearance between the brake shoe and the brake drum, and this clearance, also known as the brake shoe-to-drum air gap, needs to be adjusted to ensure effective braking performance. Manual and automatic are two main types commonly used in vehicles.

There are two main types of slack adjusters: manual and automatic.
Manual slack adjusters require periodic adjustment, while automatic slack adjusters continuously maintain proper brake shoe clearance. Automatic slack adjusters are more commonly used in modern commercial trucks due to their convenience and reliability, reducing the need for manual maintenance.
Slack adjusters are vital for maintaining the proper brake lining clearance in heavy-duty vehicles. By automatically adjusting the brake shoes, they ensure consistent braking performance. They help prevent excessive wear, reduce maintenance needs, and increase safety by ensuring that the brakes engage fully when needed. Regularly maintaining slack adjusters ensures optimal braking force and enhances vehicle safety.
