Özet

ABSTRACT

Introduction and Purpose: Various braking systems are used in motor vehicles to slow down and stop the vehicle safely. Braking systems used today can be defined as hydraulic, pneumatic, electromagnetic, electronic and regenerative braking systems. When passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles are examined, it is seen that while hydraulic brake systems are used in passenger cars, air brake systems are used in heavy vehicles. In the hydraulic brake system, braking is performed by a drum/disc brake mechanism through hydraulic pressure. In the drum/disc brake system, the pads rub against the disc with the help of hydraulic pressure and convert the kinetic energy into heat energy. Braking is provided by the friction force in this sequence. If there is a hydraulic leak in this system, the brake may not work and may cause an accident. Air brake systems are used in heavy vehicles. The system provides braking through air pressure. The advantage of the air brake system is that in case of an air leak in the system, the system brakes and prevents accidents from occurring.

Materials and Methods: The subject of the study includes the cylinder part, one of the air brake system components. The cylinder part is the safety part for the air brake system. For this reason, the product should not leak liquid / gas from any section after plastic forming. Otherwise, the system will not perform its function. Shaping the product with the deep drawing process causes tribological factors to become more effective during the production of the cylinder part and increases the possibility of tearing. In addition to solving the root cause, post-production control is importat as it is a safety part.

Results: In this context, the design and production of a leakproofness testing machine was carried out. For post-production control, the part placed in the system is filled with compressed air and measurement is performed at time t0. The second measurement is performed at time t1 and the results are compared. If the difference between the results is within the specified tolerance range, the part is separated as OK, and if it is outside the tolerance value, the part is separated as NOK product. As a result of the work carried out, efficiency and customer satisfaction increased.
