Easily replaces surge brakes, air/hydraulic & vacuum/hydraulic systems on trailer. Simply mount the Dexter Actuator to the trailer and attach the hydraulic line. The Dexter Actuator engages trailer brakes when the tow vehicle brake pedal is applied or when the in cab controller override is activated. The pressure output to the brakes corresponds directly with voltage output from the brake controller to deliver smooth, proportional braking.
- DX Series brake actuator - 1,600 psi
- Designed for use with hydraulic disc brakes
- Eliminates the feel of being pushed by trailer which reduces the possibility of jackknife situations
- Requires an in-cab electronic brake control; Dexter recommends a inertial type controller for best performance
- Electronic timer type controllers will work but are not recommended because these units don't sense varying brake requirements
- Eliminates brake drag commonly experienced when using surge actuator systems in downhill towing applications
- Meets all DOT regulations and federal braking requirements
- Goretite seals protect the circuit board from water and provide protection against the elements
- Finned housing design helps dissipate heat more efficiently for long-lasting durability
- Incorporates enhanced wiring protection to prevent possible damage to the unit if wired improperly
- Solid state electronics for improved performance and compatibility with most aftermarket and OEM integrated electric brake controllers on the market
- All stainless steel fasteners for superior corrosion resistance
- 12- volt DC operation, 4 wire connection
- Large brake fluid reservoir and self-priming pump reduce the time required for brake bleeding while preventing the system from running dry during the process
- Unrestricted by brake fluid displacement requirements eliminating the risk of starving the brakes for fluid
- Allows for use on single, tandem or triple axle applications regardless of capacity
- Provides braking power when moving the trailer in reverse
- Requires 9 amp/hour breakaway battery
- Uses DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid
- Draws Power only when Brakes are Applied - No Need for Accessory Switch
- Dimensions: 10-1/2" Long x 5-1/2" Wide x 7' High
