Reliable electric drum brake system for enhanced towing safety and performance.
The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly is designed for trailers with a 7000 pound axle capacity, featuring a 12 inch diameter and 2 inch width. This electric brake system operates similarly to automotive drum brakes, utilizing an electromagnet for actuation instead of hydraulic pressure. This design allows for precise braking control, which can be manually adjusted at the controller to accommodate varying road and load conditions.
In addition to providing reliable braking performance, the assembly is modulated to adjust the braking force, reducing the load on the towing vehicle. In emergency situations, these brakes can function independently of the tow vehicle, enhancing safety during critical moments. The assembly includes essential components such as backing plates, brake shoes, magnets, actuating levers, adjusting screws, and spring hardware, ensuring a comprehensive solution for trailer braking needs.
Manufactured in the USA, the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly is engineered for durability and efficiency, making it a practical choice for those seeking to improve their trailer's braking system. With an estimated installation time of just half an hour, this assembly is designed for ease of use and reliability.
