Wabco 4214410030 Cylinder

Description

This Wabco 4214410030 cylinder is a crucial component within brake control systems, specifically acting as a slave cylinder. It's designed to convert hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to actuate the brakes, ensuring reliable stopping power in various vehicle applications. This single-acting cylinder measures 40 x 45 x 173 mm and features a piston diameter of 35.0 mm, an inlet port of M12 x 1.5, and a mounting configuration of M8 Female. Its OE specification and operating parameters, including a maximum operating pressure of 8.0 bar and a stroke of -32/+50 mm, contribute to precise and efficient braking performance while maintaining operational reliability within a temperature range of -35°C to +80°C.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy actually takes the pressure from your master cylinder – when you push the brake pedal – and turns it into the mechanical motion that pushes the brake shoes or pads against the wheels. It’s all hydraulic, meaning it uses fluid pressure. Basically, it multiplies the force you apply to the pedal, giving you the stopping power you need. It's got a piston inside that moves when the fluid comes in, and that’s what does the pushing. It’s part of your braking system, obviously, and it sits right near the brakes at each wheel – usually on drum brake setups, though sometimes on disc brakes too. You’ll have one at each wheel that needs it. The master cylinder is up front under the hood, and then these slave cylinders are each directly at the brakes themselves. Think of it like a team – the master cylinder initiates, and the slave cylinders finish the job.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this thing fails, you’ll notice if you’re lucky – a soft or spongy brake pedal is a common sign. Sometimes you’ll get a complete loss of braking power on that wheel, which is obviously a big deal. It’s a critical safety component, and a leak or failure means you won't be able to stop properly. You really don't want to mess around with bad brakes. They’re not expensive to replace, and if you’re doing the work yourself, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. It’s much better to be safe than sorry with something like this.
