Tie Down 750E Drum Brake Surge Actuator

Tie Down 750E Drum Brake Surge Actuator - Single Axle

The Tie Down Model 750E Drum Brake Surge Actuator works by the "surge" or "push" of the trailer toward the tow vehicle. This automatically synchronizes the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle axle brakes. When the trailer pushes against the tow vehicle, the actuator telescopes together and applies the force to the master cylinder, supplying hydraulic pressure to the brakes. The built in dampening shock absorber retards the telescoping shock against the hitch ball by depending on the brake fluid in the master cylinder. This surge actuator is for use with drum brakes only and will fit tongues 3" wide. Comes completely assembled and ready to bolt into place.
