MAN N2504016063 Brake Cylinder

Description

This brake cylinder is a critical component of the braking system, responsible for converting hydraulic pressure into mechanical force at the wheel cylinders, ultimately applying the brakes. It is commonly used in MAN vehicles. This MAN brake cylinder, with MPN N2504016063, provides reliable and consistent braking performance. Its robust construction enhances durability and extends service life, while precise engineering ensures efficient hydraulic transfer for optimal stopping power. It measures 165 x 180 x 200 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.
