Welding instructions for steel hanger

bracket - series IU/IO
Welding recommendation
The high-tensile steel used for the hanger brackets with a carbon content C of max. 0.2 % can be easily
welded. Special welding electrodes are therefore not required.
Cover the trailing arm to protect it from flying sparks. In order to avoid bearing damage, the welding
equipment ground cable must not be connected either to the wheel or to the wheel hub with brake drum.
Design information
The vehicle frame must be reinforced so that it can absorb the forces to which it is exposed.
Important note
Ensure that the gap between the hanger bracket and chassis in the area X is kept small!

about required air bag offset.
For the 60 mm offset with

This air bag is manufactured with a steel plate on the bottom surface (see the drawing below) so

It is a responsibility of the OEM to check the tyres - air bags clearance and make a decision
about required air bag offset.

Q = permissible axle load on the ground (kg)
A = unsprung mass (kg) / mean value for

A = Q x 0.1

p = air pressure in the air bags per kg load

Braking system
checking and adjustment
S-cam brakes with manual slack adjusters
The natural wear of the brake drum and brake lining necessitate frequent adjustment of the wheel brakes in order to
maintain the maximum stroke of the brake cylinders. In order to achieve good braking, it is essential to minimise the
clearance between the brake drum and brake lining. In order to check the clearance, the service brake is applied with
full pressure and the stroke of the brake cylinder checked. If the stroke at the yoke end is more than 2/3 of the maximum
cylinder stroke, the brake must be urgently adjusted. If the brakes are correctly adjusted, it should not be possible to
move the piston rod more than 15 mm by hand.

Turn the adjusting screw to the

right until the

brake shoes are firmly up

against the brake drum.
No clearance between
piston and diaphragm
permitted in the rest
position.

Turn the adjusting screw to

the left until

the free travel of the slack

adjuster (at 127 mm) is
approx. 10 - 15 mm.

Adjustment is performed at the

adjustment screw (WAF 19)

It must be possible to turn the

wheel freely without braking
(without scraping noises).

Special instructions apply for automatic slack adjusters (see adjustment procedure on the following
pages).

A = Angle must not exceed 90 at 1/2 stroke.

B = No contact permissible between slack adjuster and axle beam during emergency braking.
L = Observe piston rod length as per the SAF specifications.
