CANTON, OH - Hendrickson
recently launched production of a
faster flowing, more consistent lift axle air control kit, AKAD1001.
An independent electric or
manual lift axle control approved for INTRAAX® and HT
SERIES liftable suspensions, AKAD1001 delivers an increased flow
rate and other product improvements compared to the existing
AK-127-1.
The AKAD1001 nearly doubles the airflow factor while
improving performance in extreme temperature conditions. The air
control was tested from minus 40 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Producing extremely consistent air supply pressure, the kit features
a more accurate and readable liquid filled gauge and improved
corrosion resistance and durability.
The AKAD1001 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.
Tests prove the ball-valve design and
poppet-style solenoid valve superior to spool-type valves for
operations in extreme temperatures and poor air quality. 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.
