Wabco 8956710204 Oil Control Ring Iso6621-75x2

Description

The Oil Control Ring Iso6621-75x2 is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically used in air compressors to regulate oil flow and maintain optimal performance. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 8956710204, this ring ensures efficient compressor operation by controlling the amount of oil that reaches vital internal parts. Its dimensions are 2 x 80 x 80 mm. This component adheres to OE specifications, offering reliability and a precise fit for enhanced durability and consistent braking performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This ring’s job is pretty straightforward. It sits inside the air compressor, and it’s designed to scrape excess oil off the piston as it moves up and down. It doesn’t stop oil from being in there – air compressors actually need some oil to stay lubricated – but it controls how much gets carried up into the air tank. It basically manages the oil mist, making sure it doesn’t overload the system. Think of your air compressor as the heart of your air brake system. It builds the air pressure that actually stops the vehicle. This ring is a small part within that compressor. It ensures the air going to your brakes isn't full of excess oil. That oil can contaminate everything down the line – brake chambers, valves, and lines. It’s a key component in keeping the air clean and dry for proper braking.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this ring fails, or gets worn, you’ll start getting too much oil carried into the air tank. You’ll notice if it's really bad – things might feel spongy when you apply the brakes, or you might even see oily residue around your air tanks and lines. Too much oil reduces the efficiency of the whole system, and can cause components to fail prematurely. A worn ring means reduced braking performance and potentially costly repairs down the road. You can find these rings, and a whole lot else for your air brake system, at places like Fixparts Online, but knowing what it does helps you understand if it’s even the issue you’re dealing with. It's a small part that acts like a shield against bigger problems.
