Description

The Wabco 4214113110 Piston Operating Cylinder is a critical component within brake control systems, specifically acting as a slave cylinder. It's designed to convert hydraulic or pneumatic pressure into linear motion, enabling the activation of brake components. This cylinder is commonly used in heavy-duty vehicle applications. With a piston diameter of 35.0 mm and a stroke of 73.0 mm, this single-acting cylinder delivers a piston force of 420 N. Its dimensions are 48 x 45 x 202 mm, and it features M12 x 1.5 port threads and a push-rod thread of M8. The cylinder operates efficiently within a temperature range of -25°C to +140°C and a maximum operating pressure of 10.0 bar, ensuring reliable performance and durability. It is manufactured to OE specification, guaranteeing a precise fit and optimal functionality.

Key Features & Benefits

This part basically takes the fluid pressure from your master cylinder – when you push the brake pedal – and turns it into mechanical force. Inside, there’s a piston that moves when hydraulic pressure comes in, and that movement pushes on the brake shoes or pads, making them press against the brake drum or rotor. It's really just a hydraulic amplifier, taking a little foot pressure and turning it into a lot of stopping power at each wheel. It’s a critical part of your braking system, naturally. It lives at each wheel, and you'll have one for each brake. So, if you’re working on the rear brakes, which often use wheel cylinders to actuate the shoes, this is what you’re dealing with. It receives the signal from when you hit the pedal and does the actual work of squeezing the brakes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without it, you wouldn’t be able to stop. If it fails, you'll notice if you're having trouble stopping – it might feel spongy, or the car might pull to one side. A leak in the cylinder means you’re losing brake fluid, and losing braking power, obviously. It essentially acts like a shield, protecting your ability to slow down and stay safe. You can find these pretty easily online, even places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. Replacing a worn cylinder is a straightforward repair, but definitely important to keep your brakes working correctly.
