R&P Knowledge Hub
Electric brake backing plates integrate the brake shoes, return springs, actuating arm, and magnet into a pre-assembled unit that bolts directly to the axle flange. When voltage is supplied from a brake controller, the magnet contacts the drum surface and expands the brake shoes. Brake assemblies are side-specific and must match the correct left or right configuration. Confirm axle rating, brake dimensions (12" x 2"), flange bolt count, and drum compatibility before ordering.
