Electric Over Hydraulic Control Systems

There are three main parts to electric over hydraulic brake installation.

Electric over hydraulic control systems.

Up to 3 axles. What are the components. Brake controller in the truck the electric over hydraulic brake actuator on the trailer and the hydraulic disc brakes on the wheels of the trailer. Mount the control knob of this proportional controller on your dash or console and affix the main unit in an out of the way spot.

Hydraulic systems require hoses fittings and valves as well as a hydraulic power unit hpu which has a large footprint. Electric to hydraulic converters are ideal for retrofitting hydraulic systems enabling normally open no or normally closed nc hydraulic valves to be operated with an irrigation system controller. With the electric component this system sends an electrical signal to the trailer s brakes via a brake actuator. The modular design of the ehc enables it to be installed in various types of controller installations.

With hydraulic systems the total footprint of the system is much larger than comparable electric systems. 3 axis accelerometer ensures unit works no matter its positioning. Electric linear actuators unlike the hydraulic variant these linear actuators are powered exclusively by motors. For computer controlled or automated position speed and force control servo drives are required.

The motor powers the lead screw which is fitted with a nut that runs up and down the thread.
