OVER-ADJUST PREVENTION MECHANISM
When rapid braking [
1], the automatic brake-lock adjuster operation works too fast [
2].
The caliper piston/adjust-nut is forced to stop [
3] as soon as the brake pad contacts with brake disk, but the
adjust-bolt turns by inertia force [
4] after that. The adjust-bolt stops after the adjust-bolt/nut clearance
becomes zero. On this account, the caliper piston/adjust-nut can not return back [
5] using the elasticity
transform of piston seal when releasing the brake lever. It is the over-adjust condition.
The spring is equipped between the caliper piston and the adjust-nut for preventing the over-adjust, serves
damper interm of rapid caliper piston movement.
The spring compress [
2] as soon as the caliper piston moves exponentially [
1], the adjust-nut moves [
3],
[
4] behind time. Here with, it is possible to make correct clearance of the adjust-bolt/nut because the inertia
force with rapid movement does not work the adjust-bolt.
