Eaton's decompression engine braking technology for medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines delivers high braking power and reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) for truck owners.
Eaton offers rocker arm-based 1 stroke, 1.5 stroke, and 2 stroke systems for overhead cam and cam in block engine architectures.
The compression release engine brake provides several advantages to the commercial vehicle truck owner:
Eaton 1.5 stroke engine brake system delivers 50% higher braking power at low speed vs conventional engine braking. This is achieved by having one additional compression release event per engine cycle. A deactivating rocker arm in combination with an engine brake rocker arm disables the regular exhaust valve motion allowing a second valve opening at top dead center.
