Wabco 4123520270 Single Cylinder Compressor 352cc Flange Mount

Description

The Wabco 4123520270 is a single cylinder, 352cc air compressor designed for flange mounting in air brake systems. This compressor delivers reliable performance by providing necessary compressed air for braking functions in commercial vehicles and other heavy-duty applications. It features water cooling, lubrication supplied from the engine, and operates at 3000 (1/min) with a maximum operating pressure of 12.5 bar. The compressor's dimensions are 342 x 200 x 338 mm. This unit is an OE specification part built to ensure compatibility and performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This compressor's job is pretty straightforward – it takes in air and squeezes it, building up pressure and storing it in your air tank. Think of it like a pump constantly working to fill up a reserve. It's powered by the engine, usually through a belt, and it’s constantly running when the engine is on, keeping that air supply ready to go. That 352cc refers to the volume of air it moves with each cycle – basically how much pumping power it has. The flange mount just means how it physically attaches to the vehicle – bolted right onto a flat surface. This compressor is the heart of your air brake system. That pressurized air is what actually makes your brakes work – it pushes the air into the brake chambers, activating the brakes. It also powers other air – operated things like your horn, and sometimes things like automatic transmission controls or even suspension systems. It's a crucial part, really – everything relies on having consistent, strong air pressure.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a good compressor, your brakes simply won't work reliably. You’ll notice if it’s failing because your brakes will feel weak, slow to respond, or might even drag. It can also affect your other air – operated components. A failing compressor can cause a loss of braking power, which obviously is a major safety issue. It's one of those parts you really want to keep in good shape. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s something a lot of folks like to replace preventatively, especially on older vehicles, to avoid getting stuck on the road.
