What is the differnence between a short stroke and a long stroke brake chamber?

The primary difference between a short stroke and a long stroke brake chamber lies in their design and functionality. A short stroke brake chamber has a smaller diameter and a shorter push rod travel, resulting in quicker application and release of the brakes. In contrast, a long stroke brake chamber features a larger diameter and longer push rod travel, providing a more gradual application of braking force. This difference affects the braking response and can influence vehicle handling characteristics.
