Diagram

Constructed of tough, weatherproof extruded aluminum, the Hydrastar electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator will give you years of trailer-stopping performance. The actuator installs on your trailer, then splices into its wiring and connects to its hydraulic brake line. Reacting to electric signals sent from your in-cab electric brake controller when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, the Hydrastar applies pressure to the hydraulic system, thus activating the trailer's brakes. You get responsive hydraulic braking, which you control conveniently from inside your vehicle with your electric brake controller. The Hydrastar actuator meets all Department of Transportation regulations and complies with CFR-393 federal braking requirements.


Not all electric brake controllers work with this hydraulic brake actuator. See the following table to determine compatibility with common models of electric brake controllers. Certain models require the Hydrastar control adapter module (HBA-CAM; sold separately) to work with the Hydrastar electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator. For best performance, it is recommended that you use an aftermarket electric brake controller rather than an OEM factory-installed controller.

Really like the disc brake conversion I did on my wolfpack toyhauler. Went with 8 lug hubs and wheels at the same time.



by:

These are the pics I took when I was done. Took two days to do but we'll worth it. I took pics after first load and now it feels good to actually stop with out wondering if the magnets were going to fail. I appreciate the fast shipping . The only thing I had to pick up was 25 feet of brake line,15 feet was not going to be anough . Other then this. I love it. Thank you very much and God bless



by:

As of now I'm very excited to put this new product on my trailer.



by:

Installed on my 2009 Keystone Fuzion FZ302. I was very impressed by the fit and finish. What a difference in braking!! I don't think I will ever own a trailer with electric drums again. I was able to install all four in about 6 hours. This was taking my time to ensure all clearances were exact. The only thing I ran into was the sticky weights on my 16" wheels just touched the caliber. I had the wheels rebalanced with clip weights on the inside and we are now all good.



by:

Absolutely amazing. All the precision control of electric brakes with the advantages of hydraulic disc brakes. It was a relatively straight forward installation. I paired the Hydrastar actuater with Kodiac 4 wheel disc brakes. My boat and trailer weigh about 9,500 pounds. I've never had braking in a trailer this good before. I actually had to turn the sensitivity down on the cab controller. Totally worth it. I highly recommend the Hydrastar actuater, especially when paired with Kodiac 4 wheel disc brakes.



by:

Still working like great no problems



by:

Installation went easy after watching their installation video brake lines were easy to install had to purchase extra fittings (purchased through E TRAILER) to make it fit the way the way needed



by:

Great Product, I installed a four disc brake system in one afternoon and the pump works great. Now my 40ft. trailer stops my truck.



by:

very easy to install , well build . But need to by extra fluid lines, 40 feet trailer will need more fluid line.



by:

In the video the last box is the one with the hydraulic pump, the only one that had no damage because it was well packed, good job

Pretty easy installation

Parts look good only 2 bolts missing

  • Parts Needed to Install Electric Brakes On a Tandem Axle Trailer With 3,500 Torque Axles Salt Water
    With your trailer being in an environment where it is exposed to both salt water and fresh water I would highly recommend going with a disc brake setup. There are much fewer components on the brakes to become damaged from the elements with disc brakes. You will need 4 of the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Assemblies # DE89YR with a Hydrastar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator w/ Line Kit # CAR-HBA16-2. You will most likely need a Adapter Module # HBA-CAM for your factory brake controller but be sure to check...

  • Recommended EOH Disc Brake Kit for Utility Trailer with Dexter 5,200 Lb Axles
    In order to convert from electric drum to hydraulic disc brakes on your trailer you'll need the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR526DKG and the Hydrastar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # CAR-HBA16-2 but that's it. The actuator kit has all the same stuff you need like brake lines, breakaway, and connectors/fittings. The brake kit has all the major components like the hub/rotor, calipers, and brake pads.

    For a disc brake kit that would for your 7,000 lb Dexter axles that you have on your 2015 Keystone Trailer the Kodiak Kit part # K2HRCM1337-9DAC would be an excellent option. These will fit the spindles on your trailer and have a Dacromet coating which will fight corrosion for a very long time. For an electric over hydraulic kit that comes with lines and a breakaway system the best option is the HydraStar part # CAR-HBA16-2. This is the quickest reacting and most reliable system on the...

  • Recommended Disc Brake Conversion for AL-KO 5,200 Lb Axle
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR526D will work great on AL-KO 5,200 Lb Axles, you'll just need one kit per axle. The HydraStar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator part # CAR-HBA16-2 and Bearing Kit for Trailer Brakes with 12" Hub/Rotor part # DBRKHW6 would then finish out the parts requirements. The brakes will be a bolt-on swap, you'll just have to run lines from the assemblies to the actuator and wire this up but aside from that it should be pretty straight forward.

  • Is There a Brake System For a 3,500LB Axle Which Will Allow For 10 Wheels?
    You would have to convert to Disc Brakes # KOD87FR to fit a 10" wheel on your 3,500lb axle. This hub uses the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. These are Dacromet coated which is almost as good as a galvanized coating but is definitely better than just paint. Depending on our snowmobile trailer you would need either a surge style disc brake Actuator # T47457007K or a electric over hydraulic Actuator # CAR-HBA16-2.

These fit the industry standard number 42 spindles. For this you will need the inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 02475 along with oil seal # 10-63. I recommend you check the bearing diameters to make sure they match your spindles. For your disc brakes you will need a different actuator capable...

    While we don't have a kit that includes everything for a tandem 5,200 lb trailer we do have all the components separately like the part # K2HR526D for the hubs and rotors. Then for the rest of the components you'd just need the part # CAR-HBA16-2. The HydraStar kits have the best actuators due to how quick they respond as well as the most reliable.

    Yes, the HydraStar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # CAR-HBA16-2 is compatible with the Ford factory-installed trailer brake controller in your 2014 Ford F-350. You will just want to check that the unit's main menu is set for EOH operation rather than electric brake operation. In your truck no adapter is required for proper operation.

  • Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator For Disc Brakes to Replace Surge Brake Actuator
    There is not a direct replacement for the LP7000 actuator for disc brakes, and to answer your question, electric over hydraulic braking is better in really every single way. While hydraulic brakes give better stopping power than electric brakes, electric brakes are more responsive, so what an EOH actuator does is combine the two, giving you the best possible stopping power. So I always recommend going electric over hydraulic if possible, and for disc brakes you can use the following: -...

If you're looking for an electric over hydraulic actuator, I recommend the Hydrastar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator with Line Kit part # CAR-HBA16-2.
