The Wabco 1835201494 Scraper 40mm Elb-Lock 90 is a vital component within air brake systems, specifically designed for trailer brake controls. This scraper maintains optimal braking performance by removing debris and ensuring smooth operation of the air brake mechanism. Measuring 32 x 7 x 32 mm, this OE specification part delivers precise fit and reliable function, enhancing both safety and efficiency in trailer braking applications. Its robust design contributes to extended service life and reduced maintenance needs. This little guy essentially cleans the brake shoes inside your trailer brakes. It's a spring – loaded steel piece that scrapes away brake dust, debris, and any little bits of gunk that build up as the brakes wear. It runs along the surface of the brake shoes each time you apply the brakes, keeping things relatively clean. It's got that 40mm size which is pretty standard, and the ‘Elb – Lock 90’ refers to how it attaches – it’s a specific type of locking mechanism that keeps it secure. Think of it as part of the overall air brake system on your trailer. When you hit the brakes, compressed air pushes the brake shoes against the drums. That friction stops the trailer. This scraper works alongside that, making sure that friction isn’t hampered by buildup. It’s part of the whole mechanism, and helps maintain consistent stopping power. You'll find one on each brake assembly – so typically one per wheel on the trailer. Honestly, it’s a small part, but it makes a big difference. If these scrapers get worn or fall off, brake dust starts to accumulate. That dust reduces the friction, meaning it takes longer to stop, or it might not stop as effectively. It's a safety issue, really. Also, excessive buildup can cause scoring on the brake drums, which then becomes a bigger, more expensive problem down the road. You’ll notice if one is missing or damaged because you might get more brake squeal, or the trailer just won’t feel as responsive when you brake. You can find these pretty easily; we stock them at Fixparts Online, and a lot of truck supply places do too. They’re cheap enough that it's worth checking them during routine brake inspections, just to be safe. Eco-friendly and safe: Scraper 40mm Elb-Lock 90 (MPN 1835201494) comes with a 12-month warranty!
