Driveline Parking Brake Test Procedure for Medium Duty Vehicles
J2690_201201
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform test procedures for friction based parking brake components used in conjunction with hydraulic service braked vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 4500 kg (10 000 lb). The components covered in this document are the primary actuation and the foundation park brake. Various peripheral devices such as application dashboard switches or indicators are not included. These test procedures include the following:
Rationale:
SAE J2690 specifies uniform accelerated laboratory test procedures for evaluating comparative performance characteristics of friction type parking brake components designed to operate in conjunction with hydraulic brake systems. These tests are based upon long standing industry practices.
Vibration data shown in Table 3 was derived at axle location. A decision to use this data for axle or transmission mounted parking brakes was made under the assumption that in most cases, using axle data for transmission mounted parking brakes would be conservative.
