New lift axle control kit by Hendrickson
Hendrickson
Hendrickson has launched what it calls a faster flowing, more consistent lift axle control kit.
The AKAD1001 is an independent electric manual lift axle control approved for INTRAXX and HT Series liftable suspensions. It delivers an increased flow rate and other product improvements compared to the existing AK-127-1, the company says.
With the air control tested from -40 to 180*F, the AKAD1001 nearly doubles the airflow factor while improving performance in extreme temperature conditions. Producing extremely consistent air supply pressure, the kit features a more accurate and readable liquid filled gauge and improved corrosion resistance and durability, the company says.
The kit comes with a ball valve, pilot valve, solenoid valve, gauge and regulator fitted in a fiberglass reinforced enclosure. Pilot ports and potential water traps face down or are placed above exhaust ports to help prevent water from collecting. The regulator controls the load carried by the lift axle.
Hendrickson continues to offer the AK-127-1 for those unique applications that require a stainless steel enclosure.
