A brake actuator is mounted on a towed vehicle. The towed vehicle's own brake pedal actuates the brakes of the towed vehicle and the brake pedal is actuated by a cable mechanically and releasably attached to the brake pedal. The cable is itself fixedly attached to a cable attachment means which is part of a body. In turn, the body is connected to the towing vehicle through a towing implement in the farm of a tow bar. When the towing vehicle decelerates, the inertia of the towed vehicle causes the mounting bars to apply pressure against a lower part of the body, this is countered by the tow bar, connected on an upper part of the body, which has for effect to make the body rotate around its axis which is situated in a middle part of the body. This results in the lower part being moved forward which pulls on the cable, which in turn pulls on the brake pedal.

Un actionneur de frein est installé sur un véhicule remorqué. La pédale de frein du véhicule remorqué en actionne les freins, et la pédale de frein est actionnée au moyen d'un câble fixé par lien mécanique à la pédale de frein. Le câble est lui-même fixé à un dispositif de fixation qui fait partie de la carrosserie. La carrosserie est à son tour raccordée au véhicule de remorquage au moyen d'un élément de remorquage qui prend la forme d'une barre de remorquage. Lorsque le véhicule de remorquage décélère, l'inertie du véhicule remorqué fait en sorte que les barres de montage appliquent une pression contre la partie inférieure de la carrosserie; cette pression est contrecarrée par la barre de remorquage, raccordée à la partie supérieure de la carrosserie ce qui a pour effet de faire tourner la carrosserie autour de son axe situé au centre, de sorte que la partie inférieure est déplacée vers l'avant, ce qui tire sur le câble qui, à son tour, actionne la pédale de frein.
