R&P Knowledge Hub

Electric brake assemblies operate through a brake controller that energizesthe magnet inside the drum, expanding the brake shoes to create stopping force.

Dexter’s Forward Self-Adjusting system automatically maintains correctshoe-to-drum clearance as lining wear occurs, reducing manual adjustment needs.

12" x 2" assemblies are commonly used on 6K trailer axles.Verify brake size, axle rating, flange pattern (5 bolt), and correct left/right orientation before ordering.
