411151004R Wabco Compressor

Wabco 411151004R Compressor

Description

This Wabco 411151004R compressor is a vital component of air brake systems, responsible for generating compressed air to operate the brakes in commercial vehicles. It's designed for use in heavy-duty applications where reliable braking performance is critical. This single cylinder, high-pressure compressor utilizes unloader technology and is lubricated via the engine's lubrication system. Its dimensions are 150 x 230 x 280 mm, with a swept volume of 238 cm3 and a calculated volume of 9.66. The compressor features a crankshaft thread of M20 x 1.5 and port threads including M26 x 1.5, Ø 16 mm, and M14 x 1.5. This OE specification compressor delivers consistent performance, contributing to improved safety and efficiency in braking systems.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically takes engine power and turns it into compressed air. It’s a pump, really. It draws in air, squeezes it down into a smaller space, and then stores it at high pressure. It also includes an unloader valve which periodically releases some of that pressure – think of it like letting a little air out of a tire to prevent it from overinflating. It’s constantly working when the engine is running, maintaining the right air pressure in your system. It's the heart of your air brake system. All those air brakes – the ones that stop your vehicle – rely on the pressure this compressor builds. That pressure is what pushes the air into the brake chambers, activating the brakes. It also powers other air – operated components, like the horn or sometimes even auxiliary suspension systems. Without it, you just wouldn't be able to safely and reliably stop.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s critically important, honestly. The brakes are, obviously, the most vital safety system on any vehicle, but especially on something relying on air brakes. You’ll notice if this compressor is failing. You might experience longer braking distances, the brakes might feel spongy, or you’ll start seeing warning lights come on. A failing compressor means the air pressure drops, and that directly affects your ability to stop. Ignoring it isn’t an option. We carry a good selection of these – you can even find a lot of options over at Fixparts Online if you want to browse. Replacing a worn compressor is a lot cheaper – and certainly safer – than dealing with a brake failure. Product information is provided for reference only.
