Wabco 9125101604 Gear wheel

Description

This Gear Wheel, manufactured by Wabco with MPN 9125101604, is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically used in air compressors to facilitate the compression and delivery of air for braking functions. Its dimensions are 52 x 115 x 115 mm. This OE specification component is designed to ensure reliable performance and durability within the air brake system, contributing to consistent and efficient braking operation.

Key Features & Benefits

This gear wheel is pretty simple, really. It’s all about transferring power. The air compressor has an engine driving it, and this gear wheel is a crucial piece in getting that rotation turned into the pumping action that builds up the air pressure. It meshes with other gears to step down or step up the speed and torque, basically making sure the compressor spins at the right rate to create the air you need for your brakes and other air – powered systems. It’s also responsible for changing the rotational motion into the reciprocating motion that actually compresses the air. It lives inside the air compressor itself. Think of the compressor as the heart of your air brake system – it provides the air pressure. This gear wheel is one of the important working parts that makes the heart beat. The compressor is usually mounted somewhere on the engine, and the gear wheel is tucked away inside, so you won’t see it unless you’re doing a rebuild.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s seriously important. If this gear wheel fails, the compressor stops working, and you lose air pressure. You’ll notice if it’s going bad because you’ll get a warning light on your dash—low air pressure warning. And of course, without air pressure, your brakes won’t work properly. It acts like a shield protecting the other components by absorbing some of the stress. It’s a relatively small part, but a broken one means a big problem. If you're looking to replace it, you can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online. It's a repair that needs to be done right away for safety's sake.
