4. BRAKE LINING WEAR INDICATOR
Discription
The brake lining wear indicator is provided to check the wear condition of the brake linings
visually from outside. As shown in the figure below, the indicator plate is attached to the
brake cam. As the brake lining has worn, the brake cam moves excessively. Such a move-
ment of the cam is checked by the arrow on the periphery o( the indicator. Further the
brake panel cam boss is provided with the "wear limit" mark to make it possible to check
the service limit (replacement time) of the lining easily with the brake panel installed.
