Wabco 4214113140 Piston Cylinder

Description

The Wabco 4214113140 Piston Operating Cylinder is a crucial component within brake control systems, specifically functioning as a slave cylinder. It's designed to translate hydraulic pressure into mechanical force, enabling the activation of brake components. This single-acting cylinder features a piston diameter of 35.0 mm and a stroke of 60.0 mm, providing robust and reliable performance. Its dimensions are 48 x 45 x 195 mm, with a total length of 180.0 mm. The cylinder operates effectively within a temperature range of -25°C to +120°C and supports a maximum operating pressure of 10.0 bar. Its OE specification ensures compatibility and performance, while the M12x1.5 inlet port and M8 push-rod thread contribute to seamless integration into existing systems. This design provides precise control and efficient braking action, enhancing overall vehicle safety and reliability.

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.
