Wabco 8959051014 Gear

Description

This gear is a critical component within Wabco air brake systems, specifically used in air compressors to facilitate the compression and regulation of air for braking functions. This gear is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring compatibility and performance. Measuring 53 x 75 x 79 mm, this component delivers reliable operation and contributes to the overall efficiency and safety of the air braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

These gears are really the heart of how the air compressor actually makes air. They work together – meshing together, spinning – to drive the piston that compresses the air and sends it into your system. There are usually several gears involved, each with a specific job in turning that motor’s power into pressurized air. They handle a lot of force and constant movement. Think of your air compressor as the engine for your brakes – it’s what gives them the power to stop you. This gear is a critical part inside that compressor. It takes the rotational energy from the engine and converts it into the back – and – forth motion needed to build up air pressure. That pressure is then used to operate everything – your brakes, horn, even some suspension systems on certain vehicles. It’s nestled inside the compressor housing, doing its job out of sight.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, these gears take a beating. Constant spinning under load means they can wear down, chip, or even break. If a gear fails, the compressor won’t be able to build up enough air pressure. You’ll notice if your brakes start feeling weak or take longer to engage, or if you get a warning light about low air pressure. It’s a safety issue, plain and simple. Ignoring it could mean you lose braking power. We carry a good selection of these – you can even find them on Fixparts Online, and we can definitely check if this specific gear fits your make and model to be sure. Replacing it gets your air brakes back to working like they should.
