In this section of our online catalogue, we offer a specific selection of brake proportioning valves<\/strong> aimed at the maintenance of heavy-duty vehicles and commercial fleets. These regulating valves are critical elements for active safety, managing braking force distribution between axles according to the vehicle\u2019s dynamic load, thereby preventing dangerous imbalances while driving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The available spare parts cover various transport sector applications, allowing mechanics and fleet managers to find the exact component for replacements or comprehensive repairs. By selecting the correct model, the original system efficiency is restored, preventing premature rear wheel lock when the truck or trailer operates without maximum load.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Their function is to modulate the air or fluid pressure delivered to the rear axle brakes based on the vehicle\u2019s load. This prevents wheel lock-up during braking when the vehicle is empty or lightly loaded, maintaining directional stability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The most common failures include rear wheel lock-up during light braking, unusually long braking distances or audible air leaks around the valve area. Irregular and accelerated wear of the rear tires may also be observed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Yes, most load-sensing proportioning valves require adjustment and calibration after installation. The output pressure must be set according to the vehicle\u2019s specification plate (calibration plate) to ensure the correct relationship between load and braking force.<\/p>\r\n\r\n In industrial vehicles, the proportioning valve is usually located near the rear axle, connected to the chassis and axle by a rod or spring. This position allows it to detect suspension height variation, which indicates the vehicle\u2019s load level.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.enriquerequena.com\/en\/category-product\/brake-braking-spare-parts-replacements\/brake-proportioning-valves\/","name":"Brake proportioning valves","slug":"brake-proportioning-valves","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":9847,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"\nHow to choose the appropriate proportioning valve<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
