Wabco 9254880230 Tristop Cylinder Disc

Description

The Wabco 9254880230 Tristop-Cylinder Disc G-14/24 is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically functioning as a brake actuator. It is designed for use in heavy-duty vehicle applications requiring reliable and responsive braking performance. This disc type actuator converts air pressure into a mechanical force to engage the brakes. The actuator features dimensions of 400 x 200 x 200 mm and is characterized by a calculated volume of 16. It’s engineered with features like a 220 N return-spring force, a maximum operating pressure of 10.2/8.5 bar, and a stroke of 57/57 mm, contributing to precise control and enhanced braking efficiency. Technical specification confirms it meets OE specifications for optimal performance and durability.

Key Features & Benefits

This little disc is a key part of how your air brakes actually work. Essentially, it controls the airflow within the brake actuator. It shifts back and forth, opening and closing ports to let air into and out of the chambers that push your brakes on and off. It manages the timing of the air release and application, making sure everything happens smoothly and in the right order. It's a pretty simple part mechanically, but it's vital to the system's operation. Think of it as a traffic controller for the air in your braking system. It sits inside the brake actuator—that’s the part that actually pushes on the brake chambers—and directs where the air goes. When you hit the brakes, the air needs to get to the chambers quickly. When you let off the brakes, the air needs to release quickly. This disc is what makes that happen reliably. It’s part of what gives you a firm, consistent brake pedal feel.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a good cylinder disc, your brakes won’t operate properly. You might get slow response, uneven braking, or even a complete failure to hold air pressure. It’s a wear item, so over time it can get scored or worn, throwing off the timing and leading to those issues. You'll notice if it starts to fail—probably as a soft or spongy brake pedal, or maybe even brakes that drag. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and it acts like a shield against bigger, more expensive brake system repairs. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you’re looking. Replacing it when it's showing wear is a lot cheaper than dealing with a faulty brake system down the road.
