Wabco 4110313404 Conical Rod Bearing Shell Set

Description

The Wabco 4110313404 Conical Rod Bearing Shell Set is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for use in air compressors. These bearing shells facilitate smooth and efficient operation of the compressor rod, ensuring consistent air delivery for optimal braking performance. Constructed to OE specification, this set provides exceptional durability and reliability, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. The dimensions of each shell are 20 x 40 x 22 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

These little shells—there’s a set of them—actually act as the connection point between the connecting rod and the crankshaft inside the air compressor. They’re designed to allow smooth rotation while handling the force generated as the compressor works. They're essentially low – friction surfaces that let parts move against each other without seizing up. They handle a lot of stress and constant movement. Inside your air brake system, the air compressor is obviously vital – it makes the air that runs everything, right? The connecting rod inside the compressor takes the up – and – down motion and turns it into rotational power. These bearing shells are where that connection happens, they make that motion smooth and efficient. Without them working right, the compressor won’t build air pressure consistently.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These are a wear item. Over time, the constant pressure and motion will wear down the bearing surface. You’ll notice if they go bad because the compressor will start sounding much louder—a knocking or banging sound. More seriously, it'll lose efficiency, meaning your brakes might take longer to engage, or not at all. A failing compressor is a big safety concern, and replacing these shells is a lot cheaper and easier than replacing the whole compressor. We carry a lot of air brake parts at Fixparts Online, and these shell sets are something we see folks replacing regularly as part of routine maintenance. It's preventative work that saves headaches down the road.
