This Compression Spring is a vital component within the Air Brake Systems, specifically used in Brake Actuators. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 8960801694, this spring is designed to provide reliable force for optimal braking performance. Measuring 120 x 80 x 80 mm, this OE specification component ensures precise functionality and durability, contributing to a safer and more efficient braking system. This spring basically stores energy when you push on the brake pedal, and then releases it to help apply the brakes. It pushes back against another part – usually a lever or pushrod – keeping things in place and ready to respond when you need to stop. It’s a simple part, but it’s constantly working under pressure, compressing and rebounding. Think of it as a key component in how your air brakes engage. When you hit the brakes, it helps transfer the force from the pedal to actually activate the braking mechanism. It’s inside the brake actuator, which is the part that physically moves to apply the brakes on your trailer or truck. It’s not something you directly see, it’s working behind the scenes. It's important because it ensures consistent braking power. If this spring gets weak or breaks, you'll notice if your brakes feel spongy or take longer to respond. It's also a safety thing. A failing spring can lead to reduced braking performance, and that’s obviously not good. It acts like a shield, protecting other parts from wear and tear by absorbing some of the impact. You can find these springs pretty easily, actually. Fixparts Online has a good selection, and you can usually find the right size for your specific actuator model. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it proactively can save you a lot of headaches down the road. Backed by experts: Compression Spring (MPN 8960801694) comes with a 12-month warranty!
