DESCRIPTION
The ATR-1DC ™ antilock traction relay valve is a specialized
air brake valve developed for use on Bendix antilock/traction
equipped vehicles. The ATR-1DC
straight trucks, buses and tractors. Although this valve, in
combination with the appropriate controller, can be used
in any Bendix antilock traction equipped brake system, it
was developed for use in systems that were built to comply
with Federal regulations effective 3/1/98.
It is a combination of four separate valves working in a single
housing. A Bendix ® R-14
fitted with a modified cover containing two double check
valves and a traction control solenoid. In addition, the
™
ATR-1DC valve also incorporates a relay piston drain, which
continually allows system contamination to be drained from
the relay exhaust port. (Refer to Service Data Sheet for
more information.)
™
The ATR-1DC valve contains both air and electric
components to provide the service braking and traction
control (differential braking) functions. The traction function
of the ATR-1DC ™ valve is enhanced to allow coordination
with the air suspension system of a 6x2 vehicle.
A Bendix antilock traction controller, such as the EC-16
™
EC-17 , can be mounted to the ATR-1DC
