Dexter 099-075-10 Surge Actuator, Bolt-On Disc Brake, Zinc Plated, 14.5 Inch

The Dexter 099-075-10 is a bolt-on surge actuator built for disc brake trailer systems. As the surge actuator, it is the component that converts the tow vehicle's braking momentum into hydraulic pressure, activating the trailer's disc brakes as the trailer pushes forward against the coupler during deceleration. This unit is finished in zinc plating for corrosion resistance in the wet, road-salt, and marine-adjacent environments trailers are routinely exposed to.

The actuator measures 14.5 inches long with mounting holes set 1 inch down, and it is designed as a bolt-on housing, meaning it mounts directly to the trailer tongue without welding. It is intended for disc brake trailer setups and is sold as the actuator assembly itself.
