Disc Brakes are Better Than Drum Brakes
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes deliver consistent braking, even at highway speeds. Disc brakes also offer a substantially shorter stopping distance. Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, so there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged, and fewer parts to have to repair or replace.
Over-the-Hub Rotors for Easy Replacement
Slip-on, cast iron rotor makes it easy to convert an idler axle to a disc brake axle. Simply place the rotor over your hub and use your existing wheel bolts to hold it in place. With a separate rotor and hub, you can easily repair or replace one element of your brake system without having to junk the whole thing.
The rotor is made from cast iron, matching SAE specifications. Cast iron is ideal for high-temperature operations and offers a favorable friction coefficient to ensure adequate stopping power. Rotors are vented to effectively dissipate heat, dramatically reducing the incidence of heat-related damage.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Hydrastar slip-on rotor disc brake kit with the electric over hydraulic brake actuator. This is for tandem 6,000 pound trailer axles with the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this kit is an all-inclusive kit. This will have everything you need to switch your trailer over to disc brakes for improved performance and greater stopping power. The over the hub rotor's very easy to install.
All you do is slide these over your standard idler hubs and they're held in place by your existing wheel lug nuts. So there's no need to replace your entire hub and rotor assembly if only the hub or the rotor becomes damaged. This kit will include everything shown here on the table. It's four disc brake end kits for two axles. We mentioned the slip-on Dacromet coated cast iron rotors.
They also include the inner and outer bearings, the grease seals. Now the brake calipers that are included are stainless steel. They do include brake pads in the installation bolts. And if you notice, we have 'em bolted to the Dacromet coated caliper mounting brackets, which you can see are designed to fit five volt brake flanges. Now the Dacromet coating on the rotors and the caliper mounting brackets is corrosion resistant.
The stainless steel calipers we mentioned are rust proof. Now I wanted to zoom in on this electric over hydraulic actuator. It's a Hydrastar brand. This is the hard wire into your tow vehicle and it signals your in-cap brake controller and brakes are applied, triggering the pump in the motor on the actuator. This will create smooth even braking with a fast response time and it is designed to work with most in-cap brake controllers.
Now the brake line kit, you can see I have laid out here. The brake line kit will include all the solid brake lines over here, the flexible brake lines, all the fittings you need for installation on a tandem axle trailer. Now we do list on the product page of this part number all of the part numbers that are included with this kit. Now more and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes and with good reason. 'Cause unlike drum brakes these disc brakes will deliver consistent braking even at highway speeds and disc brakes do also offer a substantially shorter stopping distance. The disc brake calipers we mentioned right here, they only have one moving part, so that's fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damage and of course fewer parts to have to repair or replace. Specs again. This application is for tandem axle trailers with 6,000 pound axles. Bolt pattern, again, six on five and a half inches, and the diameter on the rotors is 12 inches. But that should do it for a look at the Hydrastar slip on rotor disc brake kit with the electric over hydraulic brake actuator for tandem 6,000 pound trailer axels.
