Wabco 9640060200 Servo Bellows Valve

Description

The Wabco 9640060200 Servo Bellows Valve is a critical component in the cabin tilt mechanism of MAN TGA and TGX platform vehicles, specifically for front applications. This valve precisely controls the tilting of the cab, facilitating access for engine maintenance and repairs. Its robust design, meeting OE specifications, ensures reliable performance and extended service life. Measuring 119 x 121 x 422 mm, this CALM II type valve operates efficiently within a temperature range of -35°C to +80°C and supports a maximum operating pressure of 25.0 bar, contributing to a safe and efficient vehicle operation.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically controls the flow of hydraulic fluid to the cabin tilt mechanism. Think of it as a precise gatekeeper. It doesn’t make the cabin tilt, it directs the power steering fluid to the hydraulic cylinder that actually does the lifting and lowering. It regulates how fast and how smoothly that happens. It has a rubber bellows – that’s the flexible, accordion – like part – that expands and contracts to control the fluid flow. It’s part of the system that lets you tilt the entire cab forward. This is really common on a lot of trucks, mostly for access to the engine and other components underneath. It’s a crucial component in that process. It receives signals from the cab tilt switch and translates that into fluid movement. Without it functioning properly, the cab won’t tilt, or it’ll do it erratically.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this valve goes bad, you’ll notice if you try to tilt the cab. It might be really slow, jerky, or not work at all. That’s a big deal because you need to be able to get under the hood for regular maintenance and repairs. It can also cause other issues in the hydraulic system if it’s leaking or malfunctioning. These parts aren’t always super durable, especially with road salt and grime getting to them. You can find these parts, and a lot of other cabin tilt components, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking to replace it yourself. They're generally a straightforward replacement, but it's important to get the right one for your specific make and model.
