Upgrading air pilot-operated valves that provide an interface between high-pressure hydraulics and lower-pressure pneumatic control of off-road military trailer brake systems improves their dependability and ensures safe operation. MILITARY OFF-ROAD TRAILERS must be built to handle rough going, whether in rocky or sandy terrain, snow, or ice. To meet U.S. military specifications and safety requirements, their brake systems must hold for 24 hours once disconnected from a tow vehicle before an emergency parking brake is deployed. Yet, the brakes also must release dependably when needed. The solution is an air-piloted valve with tight tolerances and zero leakage.
