Dexter 12 Inch x 2 Inch Electric Brake Assembly, Right Hand, 6,000 lbs Axle, K23-106-00

The Dexter K23-106-00 is a complete 12 inch x 2 inch electric drum brake assembly built for the right-hand side of 6,000 lb. Trailer axles. It is designed as a full replacement unit, arriving pre-assembled with mounting hardware so it can be installed directly onto the axle flange without sourcing separate parts. This assembly is part of Dexter's CSA-rated 6,000 lb. Electric brake line, which pairs a left-hand (K23-105-00) and right-hand (K23-106-00) unit per axle end -- this listing is the right-hand assembly only.

The brake uses an electric actuation system with white magnet wires, engaging the magnet against the armature to apply the shoes to the 12 inch x 2 inch drum surface. It mounts using a 5-bolt pattern, with the mounting hardware included in the box. Because the assembly ships complete, it is intended to speed up axle brake service and reduce the number of individual components a buyer has to match and order separately.
