BRAKE VALVE Manufacturers

BRAKE VALVE manufacturers offer a range of products designed for use in a variety of industrial applications. These include accumulator charge, check, control, hydraulic & electrohydraulic, flow control, high & low pressure, in-line, relief, modulating, full power, open center, park brake, relay & steering assist valves. They are used in agricultural, forestry, material handling, mining, railroad & airport, multi stop delivery, recreation, logging and heavy construction equipment as well as marine and power plant applications.

BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVES

A brake proportioning valve is one of the main components that help your car to stop quickly and safely, which is why they are vital parts of every vehicle. They work by limiting the amount of fluid pressure that goes to your rear brakes, which means that they will lock up much less than if you had no proportioning valve.

In addition, a proportioning valve can help your brakes work better by distributing the pressure between your front and rear brakes more evenly. This is called brake bias and it's a critical part of any good braking system.

The proportioning valve is found in most cars and trucks that have disc brakes or drum brakes on the rear. It is a mechanical component that connects the master cylinder to your vehicle's braking system.

It can also be found in some cars and trucks that have a rear brake booster. The booster is a type of device that adds additional force to your brakes, especially when you're on an incline or when you're driving on an uneven surface.

Your proportioning valve should always be checked and repaired if it begins to fail. This is because it may affect your braking performance and cause your tires to wear out faster than they would if you had a functioning proportioning valve.

Adjusting your proportioning valve is fairly simple. However, you should make sure to consult your owner's manual when it comes time for adjustments because different procedures vary between manufacturers.

You can test your valve by having a buddy start the engine and applying heavy pedal pressure while you try to lock up the rear wheels (this is known as panic braking). The pressure will push against the piston, forcing it to bottom out.

If the pressure isn't pushing against the piston, it won't be able to lock up the rear brakes and you'll need to replace it. This is a common problem that is easily fixed by a mechanic.

BREAKE SYSTEM VACUUMS

The brake hoses on your car or truck connect to the master cylinder, which controls the flow of brake fluid through the system. The master cylinder also contains a proportioning valve that helps the brake hoses control the pressure of the brake fluid.

This is a spring-loaded part that activates when the driver presses on the brake pedal and then closes as the fluid rushes in. It can also be found on some combination valves that house several valves in a single unit.
