What is the function of the Intarder?

What can Intarder for Truck Transmissions provide? The truck’s braking system must be at least as powerful as the engine. The Intarder that is integrated in the transmission relieves the service brakes by up to 90 percent. In doing so, it reduces environmental impact and maintenance costs.

What is Voith retarder?

Water retarders The Voith Aquatarder provides braking using the engine coolant. This means there is no additional operating medium, no additional oil change, and no adjustment work.

What is the difference between retarder and engine brake?

A performance comparison of the different systems shows that low mountain descending speeds are the domain of engine braking systems, whereas retarders are more effective for medium and high descending speeds.

When should you turn off a retarder?

Explanation Retarders are mechanisms in some vehicles that help slow a vehicle and reduce the need for braking. However, using a retarder may cause wheels to skid when they have poor traction. Turn off retarders when traveling under wet, snowy, or icy conditions.

How does the Intarder work?

In contrast to retarders made by other manufacturers, the Intarder is integrated into the transmission in a space-saving way. As a result, it can be easily attached to manual and automatic transmission systems and can be optimally integrated into the vehicle brake management including the cruise control function.

What kind of transmission does the Intarder have?

The Intarder is available for manual ZF synchromesh transmissions with 12 and 16 gears as well as the automatic TraXon transmissions. Good braking. Better driving.
