etrailer Accessories and Parts - AKEBRK-7L-D

Driver's-side electric brake is 12" x 2". Durable friction material provides improved braking and longevity. Dacromet-coated backing plate is supremely corrosion resistant. Fits 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" wheels.

Features:

• Electric brakes are easier to install and offer more user control than hydraulic brakes
  • Requires only an electric brake controller (sold separately) - no actuator or hydraulic lines necessary
• Automotive-grade friction material is molded to brake shoes
  • Pads are fully bonded - not riveted - to shoes for long life and more braking torque
  • Less chance of cracking and crumbling that can lead to mechanical lockup, thanks to tapered edge and circular grinding
• Periodic manual adjustment required
  • Fine-tooth brake adjustment gear allows for a more precise setting
• Dacromet coating on backing plate offers superior corrosion resistance
• Adjuster plugs (included) cover access holes to keep dirt and grime out of the assembly and off of the shoes
• Mounting bolts and hardware (BRKH12S) sold separately
• QAI and CSA certified

Manual-Adjust Brake

With repeated use of this brake assembly, the brake shoes may move out of alignment, causing less efficient braking performance. To keep the brake shoes aligned and the brake assembly performing correctly, you should perform routine maintenance.

This brake assembly should be adjusted after installation and then as needed for the life of the brake. To adjust the brake, use a brake adjustment screw tool (sold separately) to turn the adjustment gear on the inside of the assembly. Continue to turn the gear until the drum surrounding the brake catches on the brake pads enough so that the hub can no longer be turned easily by hand. Then reverse the gear by about 10 clicks. A properly adjusted brake should drag slightly on the brake drum.

Thoroughly Tested for Safety

This brake assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This brake assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This brake has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.

Automotive-Grade Friction Material

Each shoe on this brake assembly is lined with automotive-grade friction material for improved stopping performance and longevity. The friction material is fully bonded onto the surface of the brake shoe. This lining is custom-molded for a perfect fit. The edges are tapered to ensure long-lasting performance. This taper, along with the circular grinding that the lining undergoes, helps to prevent cracking and crumbling. This durability helps to prevent mechanical lockup, which can occur when brake shoes are excessively worn or broken.

The friction material is also SAE-N certified, which means that it is an environmentally safe product that complies with California and Washington regulations regarding the composition of brake pads. As a result, this material not only provides high-performance braking that can endure the test of time, but it is also environmentally friendly and safe for use throughout the United States and Canada.
