Abstract

A brake chamber includes a chamber housing having an end, a push rod configured for reciprocal movement in the chamber housing in a first direction and a second direction over a stroke distance, a return spring disposed in the chamber housing configured to urge the push rod in the second direction and a sensor assembly having a sensor and a magnet movable relative to the sensor with movement of the push rod. The sensor is configured to detect a magnetic field strength of the magnet and output sensor data representative of the detected magnetic field strength. The sensor assembly is configured to determine a position of the push rod based on the sensor data over the entire stroke distance.
