Electric Over Hydraulic Brake System

Of braking pressure vs.

Electric over hydraulic brake system.

Unlike electric brake systems hydraulic systems do not need adjustment and generate equal and full force to all wheel positions resulting in consistent braking. This type of actuator usually mounts on the trailer it receives electric signals from the tow vehicle s brake controller and applies pressure to the trailer s hydraulic brake lines. Vented housing releases heat and moisture. Unlike the older system however the eoh actuator is electric so the trailer s brakes are applied instantly with almost no lag time.

Hydraulic disc brakes will stop faster last longer and are considerably cheaper to maintain than electric drum brakes. Independent tests prove that hydraulic disc brakes will help you stop your trailer faster and safer. Electric over hydraulic disc brakes can stop your trailer nearly 50 faster than electric brakes. Like a purely hydraulic system an electric over hydraulic eoh braking system is activated whenever the tow vehicle brakes are applied and the trailer surges forward.

This system has fewer parts than electric drum brakes and maintenance is minimal enough for the average rver who can turn a wrench. An electric over hydraulic brake actuator provides the key to going between the two types of systems. An electric over hydraulic trailer disc brake conversion is about 3 000 if you hire a mechanic for installation. The brakerite ehb electric hydraulic brake actuator installs easily and delivers 75 cubic inches of volume per minute.

The brakerite ehb will brake up to 4 axles supplying 850 psi maximum pressure. Hydraulic brakes allow for hydraulic fluid to flow directly to the brakes where the pressure engages them. Electric hydraulic brake actuator works with your brake controller sold separately to activate your trailer s drum brakes. Hydrastar electric brake to hydraulic brake conversion system if there is one single option trailer owner s consider a must have it s hydraulic disc brakes.
