86435-S Left/Right Trailer Brake 10′ Electric Brake Self-Adjusted

86435-S Trailer Brake 

The 86435-S is a self-adjusting electric trailer brake assembly that will make it safer to brake with your trailer during emergency panic stops. Electric trailer brakes work by activating electromagnetic brake drums to create attrition and slow the trailer down. While surge brakes operate independently, electric trailer brakes must be connected to the tow vehicle's power and regulated by a brake control unit or electric brake controller.

• Brake auto-set corrects clearance during every stop.
• Provides optimal brake lining and magnet wear.
• Comes fully assembled ready to bolt on.
• Designed for the left hand side (driver side) of your trailer.
• Features a 4-bolt mounting pattern.
• Drum brake type.
• Axle Weight Capacity: 3500 lbs.
• Dimensions: 10" D x 2-1/4" W.
• Weight: 10.5 lbs.
• Includes a backing plate, shoe and lining kit, magnet kit, adjusting screw and spring hardware.

The Importance of Quality Towing and Brake Controllers

Chances are, you are already aware that it takes more than just the tow vehicle’s brakes to bring the vehicle itself and its trailer to a complete stop within a suitable time frame. Considering trailer weight and speed, it becomes clear the trailer also needs to pitch in with its braking power.This is accomplished via the trailer’s brakes, which can be one of two types: surge (mechanic or hydraulic), which relies on inertia to slow down automatically, or electric brakes, which require an electric connection to the tow vehicle to work. The principle behind surge (also known as override or overrun) brakes is simple.The coupling contains a sliding shaft attached to the tow ball. The shaft slides when pushed due to the vehicle slowing down and exerts pressure directly on a mechanical linkage (mechanical brakes) or a link connected to a hydraulic cylinder, which in turn creates hydraulic pressure on the braking system (hydraulic brakes). These are often found on camper trailers or boat trailers.Electric trailer brakes work by activating electromagnetic brake drums to create attrition and slow the trailer down. While surge brakes operate independently, electric trailer brakes must be connected to the tow vehicle’s power and regulated by a brake control unit or electric brake controller.
