Description

The Wabco Air Reservoir 60L Ø310x898 is a crucial component within a vehicle's air brake system, designed to store compressed air for reliable and responsive braking performance. This reservoir is commonly used in commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses to ensure a consistent air supply for brake actuation. With dimensions of 326 x 340 x 898 mm, this reservoir is engineered to meet OE specifications, providing a durable and efficient solution for air storage. Its robust construction and precise design contribute to enhanced brake system reliability and operational safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This tank, simply put, stores compressed air. It's like a backup power supply for your air brakes. The air compressor builds up pressure and fills this reservoir, and then that stored air is what actually operates your brakes when you step on the pedal. It also smooths out the pressure, so you don’t get surges from the compressor affecting braking performance. It's a key part of the entire air brake system, usually mounted under the vehicle. Think of it as a central holding tank. The compressor pushes air into it, and from there, that air is distributed to everything that needs it – the brake chambers on the wheels, any air – powered accessories, things like that. It creates a consistent supply.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this thing fails, you lose braking ability. It’s that simple. Air brakes rely on consistent pressure, and this reservoir ensures you have that reserve. You’ll notice if it's leaking – you'll probably hear a hissing sound, and your air compressor will run more often trying to keep up. A failing reservoir can also lead to a loss of pressure over time, meaning weaker brakes. You really want to keep this in good shape for safety's sake. We carry a good selection here, and you can also find options like this one at Fixparts Online if you prefer to look around yourself. It’s definitely one of those parts you don't want to put off replacing.
