  • Apparatus for assembly of brake monitor
    Patent number: 6480107
    Abstract: An apparatus for assembling a brake monitor upon a brake actuator, wherein the brake monitor includes an annular push rod sleeve having a first sensor element, preferably a magnet, and a second sensor element fixed relative to the brake actuator housing. The installation apparatus includes a push rod sleeve adjustment member which supports the push rod sleeve and movable by a servomotor, a programmable logic controller (PLC), preferably including an analog card, operably connected to the second sensor element including a power supply having a predetermined voltage. The PLC controls the servomotor to adjust the axial position of the push rod sleeve on the push rod until the second sensor element senses a predetermined voltage, and the apparatus then fixes the push rod sleeve on the push rod. The installation apparatus also locates an annular sensor sleeve within the brake actuator housing and disposes the push rod through the sensor sleeve and aligns the components of the housing, push rod, return spring, etc.
