Exhaust Brake Assembly
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Exhaust Brake Assembly, also known as the Jake Brake, is a crucial component in commercial trucks. This part is responsible for reducing the speed of the vehicle by restricting the flow of exhaust gases from the engine. It works by closing off the exhaust valves during the compression stroke, which creates a vacuum in the cylinders and slows down the engine. The Exhaust Brake Assembly is particularly useful when driving downhill or when carrying heavy loads, as it helps to prevent the brakes from overheating and wearing out prematurely. It also reduces the risk of brake fade, which can occur when the brakes are applied continuously for long periods of time. With its ability to provide additional braking power, the Exhaust Brake Assembly is an essential part of any commercial truck's braking system.
