Wabco 9125180050 Two-Stage Twin-Cylinder Flange Mount Compressor

Description

The Wabco 9125180050 is a two-stage twin-cylinder flange-mounted air compressor, critical for commercial vehicle air brake systems. This compressor is designed for reliable air delivery, ensuring optimal braking performance in heavy-duty applications. It measures 400 x 280 x 400 mm and features water cooling, lubrication supplied from the engine, and a 3000 (1/min) operating speed. Its robust construction and OE specification guarantee durability and consistent performance, contributing to enhanced safety and reduced maintenance costs.

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.
