You work smart,
so should your brakes
Introducing TSE Sense
TSE-Sense provides an innovative solution for monitoring brake performance. Utilizing patent-pending technology, TSE-Sense monitors brake behavior and supplies real-time updates to trailer telematics systems.
Why Choose TSE Sense?
Reduce
costs
Take a proactive approach to your braking system maintenance which will in turn reduce your cost of operation.
Minimize downtime
The TSE Sense solution was designed to minimize downtime and enable you to plan maintenance around components.
Increase
safety
Properly functioning brakes are essential for vehicle safety. TSE Sense monitors your braking system and reports back events as they occur.
The System Makes Sense For Fleets
TSE Sense, a brake diagnostic solution from TSE Brakes, provides real-time information to fleets so they can predictively maintain their S CAM brake systems. Designed with fleets in mind, the system indicates out-of-stroke brakes, dragging brake, non-functioning brakes, and brake actuator compatibility as well as brake performance variation among wheel ends. It helps to specifically look at the truck or trailer, providing information to the maintenance staff regarding the actual operation of the component. This allows maintenance decisions to be upfront, often preventing costly maintenance breakdowns.
Having the ability to monitor the brake system will show patterns of performance that can indicate brake safety issues. In addition, monitoring can:
- Increase fuel efficiency and reduce operating costs by allowing customers to be aware of brake drag, which decreases wheel-end rolling resistance. Better rolling resistance reduces fuel usage, resulting in better fuel efficiency.
- Reduce unscheduled repairs and downtime by providing the capability to know if the pushrod stroke of each brake chamber is functioning properly. If the stroke length is increasing or is out of adjustment, repairs can be performed prior to failure and in a timely manner, which may also prevent downtime due to brakes out of service situations based upon DOT inspection parameters.
- Provide notice of “out of stroke” condition for the brake, a key item in every DOT inspection.
- Reduce accidents by enabling customers to identify and repair a brake issue before the issue impacts the brake system’s function.
- Increase vehicle life.
- And to make it easy to integrate to your existing fleet, TSE Sense is retrofittable on trailers.
The Perfect System For Owner-Operators
TSE Sense, a brake diagnostic solution from TSE Brakes, provides real-time access to your brake information, including out-of-stroke brakes, dragging brake, non-functioning brakes, and brake actuator compatibility as well as brake performance variation among wheel ends. TSE Sense accurately measures the brake stroke of each wheel end through high precision magnetic sensing in addition to application and release timing. By knowing actual brake stroke as well as timing anomalies, brake drag can be detected. When an “out of parameter” data point is revealed, an alert is sent that the brake system needs to be looked at. By performing brake diagnostic checks, the system verifies that each actuator and the entire brake system is functioning properly for you. And, it’s easy to install on your new trailer or retrofit it to your existing trailer.

Ideal For The OEM
TSE Sense is considered a “plug and play” system. Once the smart chambers are installed on the line, they are then wired to the Data Integration Box (DIB), which connects to the trailer’s user interface. Within TSE Sense, sensors quickly and efficiently crunch data that’s then transmitted to the system’s user interface in real time. The user interface then converts the real-time data from the sensors into a usable, actionable format, alerting the fleet or driver of unusual wear, failure, or a potential future breakdown, allowing the fleet to schedule early preventive maintenance.
Easily Integrates with Telematics Partners
TSE Sense can be installed on new trailers or may be retrofitted to existing trailers. This allows fleets and truckers to reap the benefits of TSE Sense functions across their entire fleet, not just on new trailers. And, TSE Sense easily integrates into your user interface to provide real-time access to your brake information, including out-of-stroke brakes, dragging brake, non-functioning brakes, brake actuator compatibility as well as brake performance variation among wheel ends.

How It Works
Why the TSE Sense System is the best choice for your trailer
Simple Design
Properly functioning brakes are essential for vehicle safety.
The patent pending TSE Sense system monitors brake operations and supplies real time updates to telematics systems equipped with drum brakes. Defined error codes are provided to the owners telematics provider, with further detailed information available from the system’s Data Integration Box (DIB) that collects all real time data from the individual chambers.
Critical information Provided
TSE Sense smart brake actuators communicate via a secured wired connection and generate alerts with regards to critical operational items. Alerts include: non-functioning parking and service brakes, brake imbalances, and brake drag which is one of the leading causes of wheel end issues.
The TSE Sense system also retains basic Product Lifecycle History—total number of applications, time at failure, and in-service date to name a few.
Easy OEM and Retrofit Installation
The TSE Sense brake chambers utilizes the TSE TRex ULP chamber as the basis for the smart actuator. As a result, fleets can easily order the chamber to be installed as a first fit request to their OEM with various OEMs offering full telematics install both online and offline. The system can also be retrofitted to existing equipment that already have telematics systems.
This real-time stroke monitoring saves fleets time and money.
