CONVENTIONAL WEEPER SCHEMATIC | SMBC WEEPER SCHEMATIC
As the global commercial truck industry takes new measures to maximize efficiencies and profitability while overcoming new emissions standards and increasing fuel prices, it has required new thinking within the industry. Pacbrake has responded to these changes and designed completely new business models and product offerings which provide OEMs with the best in braking performance and the highest profitability available.
Pacbrake has developed a weeper style brake which can be easily adapted to almost any diesel engine. The design incorporates a Standard Modular Braking Component (SMBC), which has several traditional braking components packaged into one small modular device. The small packaging and modularity of the SMBC has allowed Pacbrake to shorten its weeper brake development times, while lowering development costs. Combining a Pressure Regulated Exhaust Brake (PRXB) or the existing Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) with a Pacbrake Weeper brake, a combination brake is created with numerous benefits and superb performance. As the first company in the world to develop and patent a combination brake that outperformed a stand-alone engine brake, we have the expertise and experience to continue to set new standards in engine brake technologies.
What sets us apart from the competitors is our ability to provide the best of both worlds. The PRXB exhaust brake will provide the perfect fit for your combination braking requirements. Weeper brakes depend on exhaust brakes or variable geometry turbochargers to operate efficiently, so a poor quality exhaust brake may leave your customers unsatisfied. With Pacbrake’s PRXB you can provide the absolute best in combination braking - offering features and benefits that no other exhaust brake can claim.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES –
COMPACT DESIGN – Fits under the valve cover without major modifications
INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER APPLICATION - Provides design flexibility to install SMBC on engines with single valve covers per cylinder
MINIMUM FLUID COMPLIANCE – Constant exhaust valve lift
UNIVERSAL DESIGN – Accommodates most engine configurations with same SMBC integrated hardware design
LOWER COST – Universal design of the SMBC allows for standardization across multiple engine applications which lowers the time of engineering design, fabrication and validation testing, while increasing the volume of similar parts to lower the manufacturing and purchasing costs
REDUCED DEVELOPMENT TIME – New engine applications will simply require support housing adaptations for the specific mounting locations on the engine cylinder head and/or valve train
