770G and 772G Off-Highway Truck (OEM) Hydraulic and Braking System: Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control), Slack Adjuster & Brake Oil Cooler (Rear)

1.-Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control)

(1) Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control)

Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control) (1) is located on the left side of the Foot Brake Control (Service). Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control) (1) is a Pulse Width Modulation position sensor. Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control) (1) sends duty cycle signals to the Brake Electronic Control Module (Brake ECM).

When the service brake is applied, Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control) (1) sends an electrical signal to the Brake Electronic Control Module (Brake ECM). The sensor tells the Brake ECM the position of the service brake pedal. The Brake ECM uses this input to turn on the brake lights. If the truck is equipped with wet brakes, the Brake ECM will command current to the front service brake solenoid. If the truck is equipped with dry front brakes, and the front brakes are locked out via the front brake lockout switch, the application of the service brake pedal results in no braking by the front wheels. If the dry front brakes are not locked out via the front brake lockout switch, the application of the service brake pedal will command the front brakes.

Note: Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control) (1) does not need to be manually calibrated or adjusted. The machine performs an auto-calibration on Position Sensor (Foot Brake Control) (1).

2.-Slack Adjuster

Location of the Brake Valve (Rear Service Brake, Retarder Control, Traction Control)

Operation of the slack adjusters keeps the timing constant between the pushing of the brake foot pedal valve and the stopping of the machine. Because of the slack adjusters, the same brake application will work with new brakes or with worn brakes. The slack adjusters are full of oil. The slack adjusters are located between the Brake Valve (Rear Service Brake, Retarder Control, Traction Control) and the rear brakes.

Components of slack adjuster (1) Outlet to a brake (2) Piston (3) Inlet from brake valve (4) Oil chamber (5) Small piston (6) Oil passage(7) Passage for makeup oil

When the service brake foot valve is used or when the retarder is used, the Brake Valve (Rear Service Brake, Retarder Control, Traction Control) sends oil to inlet (3) and into the slack adjusters. The oil pressure in the slack adjusters pushes pistons (2) away from the center of the slack adjusters. Pistons (2) push the oil in oil chamber (4) through outlet (1) to the brakes in each wheel. This oil initiates the brake application.

If the brakes have worn, the oil from chamber (4) may not complete the brake application. When piston (2) is against the ends of the slack adjusters, the oil from the Brake Valve (Rear Service Brake, Retarder Control, Traction Control) will fill oil passage (6). If the pressure in passage (6) is higher than the pressure in outlet (1), small piston (5) move away from the piston seats. Additional oil from the Brake Valve (Rear Service Brake, Retarder Control, Traction Control) can flow through the open piston seats to passage (7). This oil flows through outlet (1) in order to complete the brake application.

When you stop applying the brakes, the Brake Valve (Rear Service Brake, Retarder Control, Traction Control) will not send oil to the slack adjusters. The lower pressure in outlet (1) will cause small piston (5) to return to the piston seats. Small piston (5) will block passage (7). When oil stops filling the brakes, the return springs in the brakes will push the service brake pistons. The service brake pistons push the oil from the brake application back into outlet (1) of the slack adjusters. This oil pushes pistons (2) to the center of the slack adjusters. The brake is released completely.

3.-Brake Oil Cooler (Rear)

Brake oil cooler (1) is located under the front of the engine. Engine coolant from the water pump flows around brake oil cooler (1). Then, the engine coolant flows back to the cylinder block. The engine coolant transfers the heat from the brake oil system to the engine coolant.

The rear brakes are cooled by oil. When the hoist control valve is in the HOLD, FLOAT, or SNUB position, oil from the brake cooling section of the Gear Pump (Brake, Brake Cooling, Hoist) flows through brake oil cooler (1). Oil from the Gear Pump (Brake Cooling) joins the oil from the brake cooling section of the Gear Pump (Brake, Brake Cooling, Hoist) and flows to brake oil cooler (1). The Gear Pump (Brake Cooling) is located next to the Gear Pump (Power Train). The oil then circulates around the rear brakes and around the wet front brakes. The oil then returns to the hydraulic tank through the return screen.

The oil cooler relief valve is located in the Control Valve (Hoist). The oil cooler relief valve limits the brake oil cooling pressure when the Control Valve (Hoist) is in the HOLD, FLOAT, or SNUB position. In most cases, the oil cooler relief valve is needed only when the brake cooling oil is cold. When the brake cooling oil is at operating temperature, the brake cooling oil pressure is much lower than the oil cooling relief valve setting.
