Wabco 4123520300 Single Cylinder Compressor 352cc Flange Mount

Description

The Wabco 4123520300 is a single cylinder air compressor with a 352cc swept volume, designed for use in air brake systems. This flange-mounted compressor delivers reliable performance by providing a consistent air supply for braking functions in commercial vehicles. It features water cooling, lubrication supplied from the engine, and operates at 3000 RPM to maintain a maximum operating pressure of 12.5 bar. Its dimensions are 171 x 332 x 278 mm, and it adheres to OE specifications for consistent and reliable operation.

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.
