BENDIX 102196N Pressure Reducing Valve

Manufacturer

BENDIX

Product Description

Pressure Reducing Valve

Features & Benefits

• Limits pressure specifically to the front steer axle
• Spring tension sets the pressure-reduction ratio that is needed
• Opens fully under hard braking for a complete stop
• Calibration matches the valve it replaces at low pedal pressure

Bendix Air Brake Limiting Valve

The Bendix Air Brake Limiting Valve reduces air pressure delivered to the front brakes during light-pedal application, a function some steer-axle setups use to manage traction on slippery surfaces. That pressure reduction only applies at lower pedal pressures; once the driver presses harder, the valve allows full pressure through to both axles for a complete stop. That behavior preserves full braking pressure when the pedal is pushed harder. The Bendix 102196N is calibrated to reduce pressure at the same ratio the valve it replaces used, so front-axle brake balance stays where the system was tuned.
