Wabco 9110062804 Thrust Washer

Description

This Thrust Washer is a critical component within the air brake systems of commercial vehicles. Specifically, it's used in the air compressor assembly to reduce friction and distribute load between rotating and stationary parts. Manufactured by Wabco under MPN 9110062804, this washer ensures smooth operation and extends the lifespan of the air compressor. Its dimensions are 2 x 54 x 54 mm. This OE specification component provides reliable performance and contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

These are basically little, hardened steel discs. They sit between moving parts inside the air compressor, specifically where things rotate or slide against each other. They reduce friction, absorb some of the impact, and help keep everything aligned. They aren’t really meant to stop movement, more like smooth it out and manage the force. In the big picture, your air compressor is what builds the air pressure for your brakes – and a few other things, naturally. Inside the compressor, you’ve got pistons and other parts moving fast, and under a lot of stress. The thrust washer is located where the piston, or other rotating/sliding components, pushes against another part. It acts like a shield, preventing metal – on – metal contact and reducing wear. It keeps the compressor running smoothly and efficiently.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without these, you’ll notice if one fails pretty quickly. You’ll likely start hearing banging or knocking noises coming from the compressor. That’s metal hitting metal, and that eats things up fast. Ignoring it can lead to serious damage, and a really expensive repair or even compressor failure. They're a small, inexpensive part that protects much more valuable components. You can often find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, and replacing them during a compressor rebuild or service is always a smart move. They’re a preventative thing, really.
