The brake shoes press against the brake drum, applying the brake. Once this happens, it rotates the slack adjuster which forces the brake shoes out. So, when the driver presses down on the brake pedal, air is forced into the brake chamber and shoves the push rod out. One end is connected to the brake chambers’ pushrod. The slack adjuster assembly transmits the braking torque to the S-cam and facilitates the adjustment of clearance between the brake lining (brake pad) and the brake drum. The slack adjuster is the component that is used to adjust the brakes using transfer of torque by converting convert linear motion into the rotary motion of the S-cam.
