R&P Knowledge Hub
Electric brake assemblies operate through a brake controller that energizes the magnet inside the drum. As voltage is applied, the magnet engages the drum surface and forces the brake shoes outward to create stopping power.
Dexter’s Nev-R-Adjust system automatically maintains proper shoe-to-drum clearance during forward travel, eliminating the need for routine manual brake adjustments and helping maintain consistent braking performance over time.
12.25" x 5" brake assemblies are used on heavy-duty 12K–15K axles commonly found on equipment trailers, commercial haulers, and industrial applications. Always confirm brake size, axle capacity, mounting flange configuration, and correct left/right orientation before installation.
