Wabco 9125180040 Two-Stage Twin-Cylinder Flange Mount Compressor

Description

The Wabco 9125180040 is a two-stage twin-cylinder flange mount air compressor, critical for maintaining the air brake systems in commercial vehicles. This compressor is designed to deliver a consistent and reliable air supply for braking, ensuring vehicle safety and operational efficiency. It features a calculated volume of 96, water cooling, and lubrication supplied from the engine. The compressor has dimensions of 400 x 400 x 600 mm and operates at 3000 (1/min), providing a maximum operating pressure of 12.5 bar. Its robust design and OE specification ensure durability and consistent performance, while the flange mounting simplifies installation and maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits

This compressor basically takes engine power and turns it into compressed air. It does this in two stages – meaning the air gets squeezed twice, which makes it more efficient and gives you a stronger, more consistent air supply. Having two cylinders just helps it keep up with demand – like when you’re using the air brakes a lot, or have other air – powered accessories. It builds pressure and then holds it in your air tanks. This specific one is “flange mount”, meaning it’s designed to bolt directly to the vehicle’s frame – a pretty common setup, especially on bigger trucks. The compressed air it makes powers all your air – operated systems. Most importantly, it’s for your air brakes – that’s the big one. It can also run things like air horns, suspension systems, or even certain types of clutches if your vehicle has them. It’s the heart of your air brake system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your air brakes are kind of important, right? Without good air pressure, those brakes aren’t going to stop you. This compressor acts like a shield against brake failure due to low air. If this compressor starts to fail, you’ll notice if your air takes longer to build up after starting the engine, or if your air pressure gauge fluctuates a lot while driving. A failing compressor will mean your brakes won’t work reliably. Plus, if it fails completely, you’ll have no air pressure at all. We carry a lot of different options, and you can often find this particular compressor over at Fixparts Online. It’s a fairly common replacement part, so getting one isn't usually too difficult. It's just really important to address any signs of trouble quickly.
