Wabco 1835230514 Neodymium Magnet

Description

This is a Neodymium Magnet, a crucial component within trailer brake controls for air brake systems. It's designed for use in braking applications where a strong magnetic force is required to actuate control mechanisms. This magnet adheres to OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility with Wabco systems. Measuring 6 x 13 x 13 mm, this magnet provides a compact yet powerful solution for precision brake control. Its robust construction delivers consistent performance and longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

These magnets are really the heart of how some electric trailer brake controllers work. They create a strong magnetic field when the controller sends a signal. That field pulls on a plunger or armature inside the brake actuator on the trailer. Essentially, it’s what makes the trailer brakes apply when you hit the brake pedal in your truck. They’re responsible for converting the electrical signal from your controller into actual mechanical force at the wheel. Think of it like this – your brake controller is the brain, sending the message to stop. This magnet is the muscle that carries out the command on the trailer. Without a functioning magnet, that signal can’t translate into braking power on the trailer, and that’s obviously not good. They’re usually found inside the electric trailer brake actuator assembly itself – it’s a pretty compact part, but it does a big job.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's super important because it directly affects your safety and the safety of others on the road. If the magnet weakens or fails, you’ll notice if you’re trying to stop with a trailer – the trailer won’t slow down as much as it should, leading to extended stopping distances or even a runaway situation. A failing magnet can cause erratic braking or a complete loss of trailer braking. We carry a good range of these – you can even find them on Fixparts Online if you want to take a look at the options. Replacing a weak or failing magnet is a relatively inexpensive fix that can save you a lot of trouble, and more importantly, keep you safe.
