Vehicle Parking
For vehicle parking, rear brake actuators are designed
with large internal springs that, when engaged, hold a
parked vehicle in position. When the driver prepares
to move away and releases the parking brake, the spring
force is countered by the introduction of air pressure
into a chamber within the spring brake portion of the
actuator. A feature called anti-compounding helps
prevent the application of both the spring and service
brakes together.
