Electric Over Hydraulic Brake System

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.

Electric over hydraulic brake system.

An electric over hydraulic brake actuator provides the key to going between the two types of systems. Electric over hydraulic trailer drum brake actuator is compatible with all vehicle electric connectors and works with all in cab controllers. The brakerite ehb will brake up to 4 axles supplying 850 psi maximum pressure. This system has fewer parts than electric drum brakes and maintenance is minimal enough for the average rver who can turn a wrench.

Independent tests prove that hydraulic disc brakes will help you stop your trailer faster and safer. Electric over hydraulic brakes are superior to their electric counterparts generating over 1 000 lbs. Electric hydraulic brake actuator works with your brake controller sold separately to activate your trailer s drum brakes. Hydraulic brakes allow for hydraulic fluid to flow directly to the brakes where the pressure engages them.

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. Hydraulic disc brakes will stop faster last longer and are considerably cheaper to maintain than electric drum brakes. On electric brake systems. An electric over hydraulic trailer disc brake conversion is about 3 000 if you hire a mechanic for installation.

Unlike electric brake systems hydraulic systems do not need adjustment and generate equal and full force to all wheel positions resulting in consistent braking. Unlike the older system however the eoh actuator is electric so the trailer s brakes are applied instantly with almost no lag time. Of braking pressure vs. Vented housing releases heat and moisture.
