R&P Knowledge Hub
Electric trailer brake assemblies function by energizing an internal electromagnet via the tow vehicle’s brake controller. When energized, the magnet pulls the actuating arm, expanding the brake shoes outward against the drum surface.

Proper brake sizing is critical. Installing a 10" x 1-1/2" assembly on a 10" x 2-1/4" drum will result in improper contact and reduced braking performance.

Replacing both sides of an axle at the same time ensures balanced braking and consistent magnet wear.

This listing includes TWO complete brake assemblies (one axle).
