Dexter Axle Electric Brake Assembly K23-026-00 Left Hand 13‑15″ 3500lb

Description

Product Overview

The Dexter Axle K23-026-00 electric brake assembly is engineered for left‑hand mounting on trailers that use 13‑15 inch wheels. Constructed in the United States, this assembly combines a robust aluminum housing with a high‑performance electric brake motor capable of delivering up to 3,500 pounds of stopping force. The design incorporates a self‑adjusting mechanism that eliminates the need for periodic manual adjustments, ensuring consistent braking performance throughout the life of the product. Pre‑spliced, non‑polarized wiring allows either conductor to serve as ground or power, simplifying installation and reducing the chance of wiring errors. The assembly also includes an adjuster plug that seals access holes, protecting internal components from dirt, grime, and debris, which extends service intervals and enhances reliability.

Usage

This brake assembly is ideally suited for light‑ to medium‑duty trailer applications, including utility trailers, small cargo carriers, and recreational vehicle tow‑behind units. It performs reliably in a wide range of operating environments, from hot summer road trips to cold winter conditions, thanks to its corrosion‑resistant finish and sealed internal components. The left‑hand configuration aligns perfectly with trailer brake circuits that require a left‑side mounting point, making it a direct replacement for OEM brake units on many popular trailer models. Whether you are a professional hauler who needs dependable stopping power on a daily basis or a weekend enthusiast who occasionally tows a boat or camper, this assembly provides the confidence of controlled, predictable braking.
