There are several types of brake chambers:

  1. Service Brake Chambers: Used for normal braking during driving.
  2. Spring Brake Chambers: Used for emergency and parking brakes, with a spring that engages the brakes if air pressure is lost.
  3. Parking Brake Chambers: A subset of spring brakes, specifically for parking the vehicle.
  4. Dual Brake Chambers: Combine both service and spring brake functions in one unit.

Each type ensures effective braking and safety, especially in large vehicles.
