Wabco 480103042R EBS Axle Modulator Remanufactured

Description

The EBS Axle Modulator Remanufactured is a critical component within the air brake system of commercial vehicles. It's installed as part of the Air Processing Unit and plays a vital role in controlling braking force distribution to the axles, ensuring optimal stopping power and vehicle stability. This Wabco unit, with MPN 480103042R, is remanufactured to OE specification, delivering reliable performance and extended service life. Measuring 199 x 179 x 229 mm, this modulator provides precise and responsive brake control, contributing to enhanced safety and reduced maintenance costs.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically controls the air pressure going to the brakes on one of your axles – usually the rear. It takes the signal from your ABS system and adjusts the air pressure to each brake, independently. It’s got valves inside that open and close really quickly, controlling how much air gets to each wheel’s brake. It also releases the air pressure when you need to stop. It's a pretty intricate little piece, actually. It’s a key part of your anti – lock braking system – ABS. The ABS controller tells this modulator what to do, and it handles the actual work of adjusting brake force to each wheel. Without it, your ABS won’t function correctly on that axle. So it’s directly involved in keeping you safe and in control, especially during hard braking or on slippery surfaces.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, imagine you're braking on ice. Without a functioning modulator, all your wheels might lock up, and you lose steering control. This modulator lets the ABS system prevent that from happening – it pulses the brakes, keeping the wheels turning just enough for you to still steer. It acts like a shield against skidding, really. You’ll notice if this thing goes bad, usually because your ABS light will come on, and you might feel pulsing in the brake pedal even under normal braking. Sometimes you can get a loss of ABS function altogether. We carry these remanufactured ones, and you can also often find them at places like Fixparts Online, but a reman is a good way to save some money without sacrificing reliability.
