Force Sensitive Trailer Brake Controller

Force Sensing Used for Manual Trailer Brake Development

2. It contains an exclusive force sensitive finger control (FlexiForce) for manual trailer brake activation. This is used in situations where more fine-tuned trailer braking activity is required. For example, when a tow vehicle is backing a trailer containing a boat into water, the user has more control over the braking level of the trailer. Previously, a manual sliding lever was used for this process. Now, the harder a button is pushed, the greater amount of force that is applied to the FlexiForce sensor. Thus, more brake power is applied. This allows the user better control over the power applied to the trailer brakes.
