Sentinel Exhaust Brake for Commercial / Industrial Truck & Equipment
Categories
Built for commercial diesel engines 9 liters and larger, the Commercial Sentinel delivers braking power up to 80% of engine horsepower, helping control downhill speed while reducing service-brake use, heat buildup, and wear.
Its overengineered electric worm-drive actuator moves the valve in less than 0.5 seconds and mechanically holds its position under demanding exhaust pressure. The heavy stainless-steel valve assembly is built to withstand tough commercial use.
Electric operation keeps it simple: no air compressor, vacuum pump, pneumatic hoses, or vacuum lines. With throttle-automated control enabled, the brake opens when you apply the throttle and closes when you release it.
The Commercial Sentinel can work alongside an OEM VGT exhaust brake or provide independent exhaust braking when upgrading to an aftermarket turbo. Contact Bundy Motors to confirm compatibility with your truck’s configuration.

Put Your Engine to Work—Holding You Back.
The Commercial Sentinel produces retarding power up to 80% of your engine’s horsepower, helping control downhill speed and reduce reliance on your service brakes.
For a 500-horsepower engine, that means up to 400 horsepower of braking power.
For truck owners and fleet managers, that means:
Greater control on long, steep grades
Less service-brake use, helping reduce heat buildup and wear
Powerful braking when hauling heavy loads
Exhaust braking independent of the factory VGT turbo
Braking output varies with engine speed, engine configuration, and operating conditions. Exhaust braking supplements your service brakes.
The Strength Is in the Actuator.
Moving an exhaust-brake valve against the pressure of a large diesel engine takes serious force. Keeping it in position takes strength.
The Commercial Sentinel’s powerful electric motor and worm-drive gear reduction deliver both—actuating in less than 0.5 seconds and mechanically holding the valve in position under exhaust pressure.
The valve assembly is built from heavy stainless steel to withstand demanding commercial use.
Fast actuation. Powerful hold. Built like a tank.
Electric Power. Mechanical Strength. Simple Operation.
The Commercial Sentinel uses electric power to operate the valve directly.
No air compressor. No vacuum pump. No pneumatic hoses or vacuum lines to install and maintain.
Its electric platform provides fast, consistent actuation without waiting for air or vacuum pressure. The worm-drive mechanism mechanically holds the valve’s position without relying on pneumatic pressure.
With throttle-automated control, the brake opens when you apply the throttle and closes when you release it while the system is enabled.
Less supporting equipment. Fewer connections. Powerful, automatic operation.
Keep Your Braking. Choose Your Turbo.
Upgrading your turbo should not mean giving up exhaust braking.
The Commercial Sentinel provides an aftermarket option for owners who want a different turbo while retaining exhaust-braking capability.
It can operate alongside an OEM VGT exhaust brake or provide exhaust braking when the factory VGT braking system is no longer being used.
For trucks with weak or unreliable factory engine braking, the Commercial Sentinel offers another way to add retarding power.
