MAN N1011015158 Brake Cylinder

Description

The MAN N1011015158 brake cylinder is a crucial component within the braking system of heavy vehicles. This slave cylinder receives hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder and transmits it to the brake shoes or calipers at each wheel, enabling effective stopping power. It's a critical part of ensuring the safe and reliable operation of commercial vehicles. The cylinder's robust construction and precise engineering contribute to consistent braking performance and extended service life, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency. Dimensions are 135 x 150 x 315 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, it takes the pressure from your master cylinder – that’s what you push when you hit the brake pedal – and turns it into mechanical force to push the brake shoes or pads against the rotors or drums. It’s a hydraulic system, so it uses brake fluid to transfer that power. Each wheel usually has its own cylinder, or sometimes one will handle a pair of wheels. Think of it as the muscle that actually does the stopping at each wheel. The master cylinder creates the pressure, but this is what gets the brake shoes or pads engaged. Without it, pressing the pedal won't really do much, except maybe waste your time. It’s part of the whole system working together.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, obviously, brakes are pretty important. If a cylinder fails, you’ll likely notice if you're having to push the pedal further down to get the same stopping power, or it might feel spongy. More seriously, it could lead to a complete loss of braking on that wheel, which is, well, not good. It acts like a shield against kinetic energy, and if that shield fails, you’ve got a problem. They do wear out over time with normal use, and leaks are a common issue. You can find replacements pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. It’s one of those things you really want to keep in good working order.
