Wabco 9119016612 Bearing Cover

Description

This Bearing Cover, manufactured by Wabco under MPN 9119016612, is a critical component within the air brake system, specifically designed for use with air compressors. It ensures the reliable sealing and protection of the bearing assembly. This component meets OE specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and consistent performance. Measuring 27 x 75 x 82 mm, this bearing cover contributes to the longevity and efficiency of the air brake system by preventing contamination and maintaining optimal operational conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece primarily protects the bearings inside the air compressor. It's a metal shell that keeps out dirt, dust, water, and road grime – anything that could potentially damage those bearings. It also holds the grease or oil in place to keep everything lubricated. Some designs even help manage heat, drawing it away from the bearings. Basically, your air compressor makes the air that powers your brakes – especially important for big rigs, buses, and anything with air brakes. The compressor has bearings inside that allow it to spin smoothly. The bearing cover is directly attached to the compressor housing and seals off those bearings. Without it, those bearings are exposed to the elements and will wear out fast.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if those compressor bearings go bad because they're not protected, your air compressor won't work right. That means your brakes could fail. It's a pretty critical part of the air brake system, honestly. You’ll notice if a bearing cover is failing because you might hear unusual noises coming from the compressor – whining, grinding, or just generally rough running. Plus, if it's leaking, you'll see oil or grease slinging around. It’s not something you want to ignore. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and they’re usually pretty straightforward to replace. It’s a relatively inexpensive part that can save you a lot of trouble and expense down the road.
