Wabco 4126366914 Crankshaft

Description

The Crankshaft is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically used in air compressors. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4126366914, this component transforms rotational motion into reciprocating motion, driving the air compressor's piston to generate compressed air for the braking system. Its dimensions are 60 x 93 x 283 mm. This crankshaft is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and durability, and contributing to the overall efficiency of the air brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

This part basically takes the up – and – down motion from the engine – think of it like the piston going up and down – and turns it into the circular motion that drives the air compressor. It's got these offset journals, little bumps if you will, that connect to the connecting rod and make that conversion happen. It’s also where the connecting rod attaches, so it has to be strong and precisely machined. It’s a core component of your air compressor. The compressor is what builds the air pressure that your brakes—and other air – powered systems like your horn—rely on. Without a working compressor, you won’t have air brakes, plain and simple. The crankshaft is really the heart of that mechanical process, making it all spin.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this thing fails, your compressor stops working. You’ll notice if it’s going bad because you’ll start to hear unusual noises—knocking or grinding, usually—coming from the compressor. More importantly, your air pressure will drop, and that means reduced braking power. It's like a shield protecting the rest of the compressor from stress, and if it cracks or wears, everything else suffers. It’s a safety issue, really. You can find replacements like this one at places like Fixparts Online, but it’s important to get a good quality one because it’s such a critical component. It needs to be able to handle a lot of stress and keep on going.
