Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T4821300 Review- Video

Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T4821300 Review

Today we're taking a look at the adjustable channel brake actuator. This hydraulic actuator is designed to synchronize your trailer brakes with your tow vehicle breaks. It features a unique roller design which reduces resistance during telescoping to create straight line movement. Basically what happens is when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle deceleration occurs and momentum actually pushes your trailer towards the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems the actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward while the tow vehicle slows down. The actuator telescopes which applies force to a master cylinder which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the brakes on your trailer.We're looking at a really nice sturdy durable steel construction. more

Tuson ActuLink Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes Review

Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna be taking a look at Tucson's Actual Link Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for disc brakes, part number 335ACE-1600. You can also get this as a kit with a direct link NE brake controller, using part number 335ACT-1600-DLNE.This is what our actuator is gonna look like when it's installed. You can really pick any location that you'd like to install it. We've got it installed on our camper here, inside the front compartment. It comes with mounting brackets so it can be mounted at the bottom and attach it sitting upright and also a side bracket so you can mount it to the side of something and it has to be positioned upright, with the cap at the top, no matter where you position it.This actuator is designed to work with hydraulic disc brakes systems. If you don't have those on your trailer, you can upgrade it using the components found here at etrailer.com. more

Speaker 1: Today we're gonna take a look at Demco bolt on hydraulic drum brake actuator with the 4" drop, 2" ball coupler and an 8,000 pound capacity. Now this hydraulic actuator will activate your trailer brakes when your tow vehicle slows or stops. Basically, when you apply the brakes in your two vehicle, deceleration occurs and the momentum will push your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle and with the surge brake systems, the actuator's triggered as your trailer moves forward once your tow vehicle starts to slow down. So when this happens, the actuator will contract, applying force to the master cylinder and this in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer brakes. The master cylinder right here in the back is a composite master cylinder. It's very durable and efficient. more

HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Installation

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

This is a way to fix that for you. Or if you're building a trailer and you want to have surge brakes on it, this is an ideal solution for you.So the way surge brakes work is when you start to slow down your towing vehicle, the weight of the trailer will push forward, pushing our surge actuator inside the coupler here, and that will apply the brakes on the trailer. Now, since this happens by a motion of pushing back, when you go to back up your trailer, most applications, the brakes will be applied.However, this one has a reverse lockout solenoid that, when it senses the reverse output from the electrical connector on your towing vehicle, this will cut out the flow of fluid to the brakes so you don't have to worry about them being applied. more

Titan Leverlock Brake Actuator Installation

Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Titan Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Brake Actuator with the electric lockout. Designed for use with disc brakes, it offers an adjustable ball and 6,000 pound capacity. Part number is T4715420.Now the actuator is a really nice setup and a good design. It has the electric lockout here on the back for the reverse signal that way when you're backing up your car you're not gonna have any of the resistance. It also has the included breakaway, see the cable's attached it's gonna come with a carabiner. You're gonna hook that to the frame of your vehicle or to the hitch of your vehicle and if this we're to accidentally come separated this lever will be engaged forward applying the brakes to bring the trailer safely to a stop.Now the coupler has a release lock on the backside here. more

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Titan zinc plated brake actuator with the built-in solenoid shield. The hydraulic actuator synchronizes your trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes, so when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer towards the rear of your vehicle. When that happens, the actuator is triggered. This portion of the actuator right here, telescopes, which applies force to the master cylinder, which in turn supplies a necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes. One of the neat features about the unit is located right here, at the coupler, or at the ball attachment point.This is an easily adjustable design, it fits a 1 7/8 inch, 2 inch, and 50 millimeter hitch balls. It features a nice turn wheel right here, that way you can always tighten the coupler around the ball. more

Today we're going to be taking a look at a Swing-Away Actuator. Now, this is a space-saving, swing-away design, so that the actuator actually swings back, which is going to create a shorter tongue for storage. The foldaway portion can swing either right or left, so you have our pivot bolt right here, and then you have the pin that would be removed. I do want to mention that the pivot bolt can be installed on either side, so it can swing either right or left. Once you remove that pin, basically what you can do is you can take the coupler, or the actuator, and you can rotate it and it brings it down to this, so it allows for a nice space-saving design. It's going to be a perfect solution for convenient storage of your trailer, especially in maybe a smaller, shorter garage, or shorter space. Now, the hydrolic actuator is designed to synchronize the trailer brakes with your tow vehicle brakes. It does come with the manual reverse lock out, so it's going to come with this easy-to-use break lock out bracket. more
