Wabco 1835230104 Dimensional Sensor

Description

This dimensional sensor, manufactured by Wabco, is a critical component within trailer brake controls for air brake systems. It's designed to monitor and relay precise dimensional data, ensuring optimal braking performance and safety. This sensor adheres to OE specifications, guaranteeing a reliable and accurate reading for improved system efficiency. Its dimensions are 130 x 50 x 20 mm, and it carries MPN 1835230104.

Key Features & Benefits

This sensor basically measures the distance between your tractor and any trailer you’re pulling. It sends that information back to the trailer brake controller. It's all about figuring out how much the trailer is moving relative to the truck – things like stretching or compression during braking, or even just differences in how things settle. It reads that change in distance, and translates it into signals. Think of it as a key component in your anti – jackknife system. It works alongside the other sensors in your air brake setup. It's telling the brake controller if the trailer is starting to push or pull, or if it’s getting unstable. That controller then adjusts the trailer brakes individually to keep everything straight and controlled. It's really the eyes and ears for that automatic adjustment process.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, it's crucial for safety, plain and simple. Without it, the brake controller can’t react properly to changes in trailer movement. You’ll notice if this thing goes bad – the trailer might feel like it's pushing you around during braking, or the brakes might apply unevenly. It acts like a shield against jackknifing, and helps prevent losing control, especially in tricky conditions. You can usually find a good replacement at a place like Fixparts Online if you need one. It’s not something you want to put off fixing if you suspect a problem – it’s a core part of keeping your rig stable and safe on the road.
