Dexter Trailer Brake Assembly (MPN: K23-324-00)

Reliable hydraulic drum brake system for 5200 pound axles.

The Dexter Trailer Brake Assembly is designed for efficient braking performance on trailers with a 5200 pound axle capacity. This assembly features a 12 inch diameter and 2 inch width drum brake system, utilizing a Uni-Servo hydraulic brake mechanism. The Uni-Servo type employs a single acting cylinder that effectively engages the primary shoe against the brake drum, ensuring reliable braking action during operation.

The hydraulic system operates similarly to automotive brakes, utilizing hydraulic fluid to actuate the wheel cylinder, which applies force to the brake shoes. This design allows for responsive braking that is directly linked to the tow vehicle's braking signal. The assembly includes essential components such as a backing plate, brake shoes, and adjusting screw, facilitating straightforward installation and maintenance.

It is important to note that braking performance in reverse may be less effective compared to forward motion due to the nature of the Uni-Servo design. This assembly is suitable for various trailer applications, providing a robust solution for effective braking under load.

Features

• Uni Servo Type Of Hydraulic Brake Utilizes A Single Acting Cylinder
