Description

The Wabco 9254912200 Tristop Brake Actuator 24/30 is a critical component in air brake systems, designed to convert air pressure into mechanical force to apply the brakes on commercial vehicles. This actuator is commonly used in truck, trailer, and bus applications where reliable and powerful braking is essential. The actuator features a cam-type operation and is designed to OE specification, ensuring compatibility and performance. Its dimensions are 240 x 240 x 440 mm, and it operates with a maximum pressure of 10.2/8.5 bar, delivering an output force of 14700 N. This design provides precise brake control, enhanced safety, and contributes to the overall efficiency of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

This actuator basically controls the air pressure to your trailer’s brakes. It takes the signal from your truck’s brake pedal and translates that into a signal for the trailer brakes. It manages how much braking force goes to the trailer, and it does that through a series of internal valves and chambers. It’s a pretty clever system, actually. It also has a manual lever on it so you can apply the trailer brakes independently, which is useful for testing or emergencies. Think of it as the bridge between your truck's brake system and your trailer's. Without it, when you hit the brakes in your truck, the trailer wouldn't know to slow down, or it would brake unevenly—which is a really dangerous situation. It’s a crucial part of the air brake system and handles all the air signal to the trailer brakes. It's generally found mounted somewhere along the trailer’s tongue, or near the breakaway system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's seriously important for safety. If this thing fails, you lose reliable control of your trailer. You’ll notice if it's going bad because you might experience weak trailer brakes, erratic braking, or even a total loss of trailer braking power. It acts like a shield, protecting you from runaway trailer situations. Proper trailer braking is key to avoiding accidents, especially when hauling heavy loads. You can find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online carries a good selection, but getting a quality one is important—don’t skimp on a part like this. It's not something you want failing on the highway.
