Wabco 1835230082 Magnetic Sensor

Description

This Magnetic Sensor, manufactured by Wabco under MPN 1835230082, is a critical component within trailer brake control systems. It is used in air brake systems to detect the position of brake components, sending signals to the braking system for proper operation. This sensor provides precise and reliable detection, contributing to enhanced braking performance and safety. It measures 130 x 190 x 240 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

These sensors basically read the position of things – usually the brake shoes or drums on your trailer. They send a signal back to the trailer brake controller. That controller then figures out how much braking force is needed at each wheel. It’s a pretty simple idea, really. They detect when the brakes are applied and how much movement there is, letting the system know everything’s working as it should. Think of it like this: your brake controller is the brain, and these sensors are its eyes. Without good vision, the brain can’t make smart decisions. These sensors tell the controller if the trailer brakes are responding correctly. They are part of the whole air brake system, working with the air lines, chambers, and everything else to make sure your trailer stops safely. They’re usually found near the brake assemblies, wired into the system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without working magnetic sensors, your trailer’s braking system can become unreliable. You might not get even braking, or even any braking on a wheel. You’ll notice if one isn’t working right – often the trailer will pull to one side when you brake, or the controller might give you an error message. They really act like a shield, protecting you from a potentially dangerous situation. You can find these sensors pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. Replacing a bad sensor is usually a fairly straightforward job, but if you're not comfortable working on brakes, it’s always best to have a professional take a look.
