Wabco 4110435704 Cylinder

Description

This cylinder, manufactured by Wabco under MPN 4110435704, is a vital component within air brake systems, specifically for air compressors. It functions as a core element in generating and maintaining the necessary air pressure for effective braking performance in commercial vehicles. This cylinder is constructed with JED-011M3 body material and meets OE specifications. Its dimensions are 111 x 151 x 151 mm, offering a calculated volume of 2.5309 and a maximum operating pressure of 15.0 bar. This design ensures reliable performance and contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the air brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, this is the heart of your air compressor. It’s a strong, sealed chamber where air gets squeezed – compressed, if you will – into a smaller space. It takes in air, then a piston moves up and down inside the cylinder, reducing the volume and building up that air pressure. There’s usually an intake valve letting air in and an exhaust valve letting air out at the right times. It’s a pretty simple concept, mechanically. In your vehicle, this cylinder is part of the air brake system. The compressor, powered by the engine, creates the compressed air needed to operate those brakes. The air gets stored in a reservoir, and when you hit the brake pedal, that compressed air is released to actually apply the brakes. It's how heavy vehicles – trucks, buses, even some trailers – stop. It's also used for things like the horn and some suspension systems.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a crucial component. If the cylinder cracks, gets worn, or develops leaks, you lose air pressure. You'll notice if your air brakes aren’t building pressure like they should – the low air pressure warning light will come on, and your brakes won't be as effective. A failing cylinder acts like a shield with holes in it—it can't hold the pressure needed for safe stopping. It’s a safety item, so getting it fixed promptly is essential. We stock a good range of these – you can often find what you need on Fixparts Online, but we can help you find the right one here too, of course. It’s not something you want to put off, believe me.
