Review of Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T1735100- Video

Michael: Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the Titan brake actuator. This is a hydraulic actuator that is going to synchronize your trailer's hydraulic drum brakes with the brakes on your tow vehicle so that your trailer can slow and stop itself. So you're not relying on your tow vehicle to slow and stop both which can obviously add some burden and wear to your tow vehicle's brakes. So this is going to help alleviate that so that your trailer is taking on some of that load for itself.The way that these surge brake systems work, if you're not familiar, so as your tow vehicle is pulling your trailer along, if it starts to slow down, the momentum from your trailer is going to continue to push it forward and then this arm is going to telescope in which will then apply the pressure to your hydraulic system and apply the brakes so that it will start slowing and breaking on its own.This does have a unique roller design that's going to help reduce any resistance during that telescoping action. So you're not going to have to worry about it binding up and not applying the brakes; it's going to be nice and smooth, it's going to create that straight line movement so that you make sure that your brakes are being applied. more

Demco Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - DM8759241 Review- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator for drum brakes. This is the adjustable channel-up design, and has an 8,000 pound weight capacity.Now this hydraulic actuator will activate your trailer brakes when your tow vehicle slows or stops. It does use the adjustable channel here, which has three different mounting positions for your coupler. Now the coupler that goes in here is sold separately, and this is a channel-up design, so it does allow for a greater drop.This all has a nice zinc plating on it to offer excellent corrosion resistance. It does meet a 200 hour salt spray rating. On the very back here, it uses the composite master cylinder, which is very durable and efficient. more

Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T4864100 Review- Video

Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at a Titan Hydraulic Brake Actuator. This hydraulic actuator activates your trailer's brakes when your tow vehicle slows or stops. Now, when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward once your tow vehicle starts to slow down. When this happens, the actuator contracts, applying force to its master cylinder and this, in turn, supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the trailer's brakes.Located here at the back, we have the reservoir. You have the reservoir cap for brake fluid, and then you have the connection point for the hydraulic lines. more

Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T1608000 Review- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Titan Weld On Drum Brake Actuator with a 12,500 pound weight capacity. Now this hydraulic actuator will synchronize your trailer brakes with your tow-vehicle brakes. Basically what happens is when you apply the brakes in your tow-vehicle deceleration occurs, and the momentum will push your trailer toward the route of your vehicle, so with surge brake systems the actuator's triggered as your trailer moves forward once your tow vehicle start to slow down. When this happens, the actuator here will contract, and it applies force to the master cylinder that's on the inside here, and this in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer brakes.This is a unique roller design, reduces resistance during the telescoping to create straight-line movement. You can see it has a grease zerk fitting on the end of the roller, makes for easy lubrication. This is a sturdy, durable steel construction. more

HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Installation- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be having a look at and showing you how to install the HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator with Breakaway and Seven Way RV Harness, rated at 1,600 PSI, this is part number HS381-9067. Now the reason you're gonna want an electric over hydraulic actuator to control your trailer brakes such as this one is because it's far superior than your typical surge coupler style brakes that your boat trailer's normally have. With your surge breaks you have no control over it whatsoever, with this you can dial up or down the intensity of the brakes being applied with the brake controller inside your truck.Also when you go to back up your trailer with surge brakes as soon as you start to back up the brakes are being applied, the more force they're using to back up the harder the brakes are gonna be applied unless you have a manual lock out which you have to get out of your truck, engage the lock out so you can back up without the brakes being applied. With this where you have your brake controller set up at when you're backing up that's how much the brakes are gonna be applied so it makes it easier to back your boat into the water down the ramp but yet you still have some brake assistance there so you don't have all the weight of the boat or the trailer dragging you into the water.Also with the surge coupler the way the brakes are applied is the weight of the boat and the trailer start to push the coupler against your truck and as the coupler collapses it applies pressure to the fluid and engages the brakes so there is a delay of the brakes being applied. With the actuator here being electric over hydraulic it's immediate, there is no delay so as soon as we start to activate our brakes in our vehicle the brakes are being applied in our trailer. Now this is a marine rated actuator, by being marine rated we have an aluminum construction here which is corrosion resistant and it is also vented to help relived pressure and let moisture escape. more
