Rely on tested quality and order your endurance braking system directly online.

Safe braking even on slopes

Continuous braking systems (DBA) serve as low-wear auxiliary brakes to relieve the main brake – especially on long downhill gradients. They enable constant deceleration without the service brake overheating or losing effectiveness, thus ensuring greater safety and control during vehicle operation.

Accessories for your brake system

In our range you will find components that are used in continuous braking systems – such as modular elements, control and connection parts, as well as suitable replacement components that support the function and integration of the DBA. These components are designed to function reliably even under continuous load.

What should you look out for when buying:

COMPATIBILITY WITH BRAKE SYSTEM

The auxiliary brake should integrate seamlessly into your existing brake system so that the control and regulation function smoothly.

BRAKING EFFECT

Choose a DBA that is designed for your vehicle weight and the frequent downhill sections so that it can noticeably relieve the main brake.

SPARE PARTS SUPPLY

Check whether the components can be fitted using your existing fixing points.

Expert Guide: Everything You Need to Know About the Continuous Braking System (DBA)

The continuous braking system (DBA) is a low-wear auxiliary brake that reduces the load on the service brake—especially on longer downhill sections. It enables smooth, sustained deceleration without the main brake overheating or losing effectiveness, thereby increasing safety and control.

The service brake is the primary brake used for controlled stopping and deceleration. The continuous brake, on the other hand, generates continuous, moderate deceleration over a longer period of time without causing mechanical wear on the brake linings. The two complement each other: The continuous brake maintains speed on downhill gradients, while the service brake remains available for braking and emergency situations.

On long downhill stretches, continuous braking with the service brake would cause excessive heat buildup, leading to a loss of braking effectiveness (brake fade). The DBA handles most of the continuous deceleration, ensuring that the service brake remains cool and fully effective.

The auxiliary brake must integrate seamlessly into the existing braking system so that the control and regulation systems work together smoothly. Also, check whether the components can be mounted using the existing mounting points and whether suitable replacement parts are available.

The DBA should be tailored to the vehicle’s weight and the typical gradients along its operating routes. Only a properly sized system can significantly reduce the load on the service brake and ensure consistent, safe deceleration on downhill gradients.
