TRUCK MOUNTED AIR CYLINDER AND SLACK ADJUSTER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A truck mounted air cylinder and slack adjuster in- corporates an elongated brake operating member adapted to apply a brake applying thrust to the brake beams. An air cylinder is mounted to the truck and a threaded rod is attached to the brake operating member and extends into the air cylinder. A drive member is positioned within the air cylinder and in sealing relationship with the cylinder walls. The drive member is movable within the cylinder in response to a brake application air pres- sure applied thereto. There are clutch means connecting the threaded rod to the drive member for concurrent axial movement with the clutch means providing for rotation of the rod relative to the drive member. Slack adjusting means are associated with the cylinder and the rod. The slack adjusting means cooperate with the clutch means to extend the rod relative to the elongated brake operating member in response to a slack condition sensed by the slack adjusting means during a brake application.
