Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Spring-brake actuators are found in emergency brake systems. A reduction in air pressure (or cylinder venting) allows the spring to develop enough force to spread the brake shoe and lining assemblies apart. 1, record 2, English, - spring%2Dbrake%20actuator

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
También hay un diafragma de resorte en el mecanismo de los frenos de urgencia. Al disminuir la presión de aire, es decir al soltar el aire del cilindro, la carga del resorte crea un esfuerzo que separa las zapatas de freno. 1, record 2, Spanish, - diafragma%20de%20resorte

Foundation drum brake equipped with a brake-actuating mechanism which uses a wedge to spread the brake shoes. 1, record 3, English, - wedge%2Dactuated%20brake
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
When the driver presses the brake pedal, compressed air flows through the cylinders or through the service-brake chambers, moving the wedge to the left and causing the piston to slide inside the bore of the control mechanism and causing the brake shoes to be applied against the brake-drum braking surface. 1, record 3, English, - wedge%2Dactuated%20brake

Frein de base à tambour auquel est incorporé un mécanisme d'attaque directe des freins comportant un coin qui provoque l'écartement des segments. 1, record 3, French, - frein%20%C3%A0%20coin
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Lorsque le conducteur appuie sur la pédale de frein, l'air sous pression arrivant aux cylindres récepteurs de freinage déplace le coin vers la gauche, ce qui a pour effet de faire coulisser le piston à l'intérieur de l'alésage du mécanisme de commande et d'appliquer les segments de frein garnis contre les tambours de frein de roue. 1, record 3, French, - frein%20%C3%A0%20coin

Freno base de tipo tambor al que se incorpora un mecanismo de operación que comporta una cuña para calzar las zapata. 1, record 3, Spanish, - freno%20de%20cu%C3%B1a
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cuando el conductor pisa el pedal de freno, el aire comprimido que llega a las válvulas de freno o diafragma mueve la cuña hacia la izquierda, lo que a su vez hace deslizar el pistón dentro del cilindro del mecanismo y empuja las zapatas de freno contra el tambor. 1, record 3, Spanish, - freno%20de%20cu%C3%B1a
