Wabco 9115043424 Bearing

Description

This Wabco bearing is a critical component within the air compressor of an air brake system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the braking mechanism. It is designed for use in heavy-duty vehicles and equipment where reliable air brake performance is paramount. This bearing is manufactured to OE specification, providing a precise fit and consistent performance. Its dimensions are 20 x 39 x 38 mm, contributing to its compatibility and ease of installation, and it's a key element in maintaining the integrity and longevity of the air brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

These bearings allow the compressor's internal parts to spin smoothly. Think of it like this – inside that compressor, you've got a piston and a crankshaft doing a lot of work. The bearings sit between those moving parts and the housing, reducing friction. They basically let everything rotate with as little resistance as possible. They support the load and keep things aligned. Now, your air compressor is what builds up the air pressure that actually makes your brakes work. It’s a critical piece. The bearings are inside the compressor, so they aren’t something you directly see, but they’re essential to keeping that compressor running. Without smooth operation, the compressor can’t build and maintain the right air pressure, and that affects your ability to stop safely. It's a small part with a big job.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If these bearings go bad, you'll notice it. You’ll likely hear a grinding or squealing noise coming from the compressor, especially when the engine is running. The compressor might work harder to build pressure, or it might not build enough pressure at all, which means your brakes won't be as effective. A failing compressor also puts extra strain on the engine. It’s a preventative maintenance thing, really. Replacing them before they completely fail can save you a lot of trouble—and expense—down the line. You can find a good selection of these on sites like Fixparts Online, and they're generally not too difficult to replace if you're comfortable doing a little mechanical work.
