Wabco 480103066R EBS Axle Modulator Remanufactured

Description

The EBS Axle Modulator Remanufactured is a critical component within a vehicle's air brake system, specifically functioning as part of the Air Processing Unit. It regulates and controls the braking force applied to the axles, ensuring optimal and safe stopping performance. This unit is designed for use in commercial vehicles and trailers equipped with air brake systems. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 480103066R, this remanufactured modulator offers a cost-effective and reliable solution. It’s dimensions are 199 x 179 x 229 mm, and it adheres to OE specifications, providing consistent performance and durability.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically controls the air pressure going to the brakes on one of your axles – usually the rear. It takes the signal from your ABS system and adjusts the air pressure to each brake, independently. It’s got valves inside that open and close really quickly, controlling how much air gets to each wheel’s brake. It also releases the air pressure when you need to stop. It's a pretty intricate little piece, actually. It’s a key part of your anti – lock braking system – ABS. The ABS controller tells this modulator what to do, and it handles the actual work of adjusting brake force to each wheel. Without it, your ABS won’t function correctly on that axle. So it’s directly involved in keeping you safe and in control, especially during hard braking or on slippery surfaces.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, imagine you're braking on ice. Without a functioning modulator, all your wheels might lock up, and you lose steering control. This modulator lets the ABS system prevent that from happening – it pulses the brakes, keeping the wheels turning just enough for you to still steer. It acts like a shield against skidding, really. You’ll notice if this thing goes bad, usually because your ABS light will come on, and you might feel pulsing in the brake pedal even under normal braking. Sometimes you can get a loss of ABS function altogether. We carry these remanufactured ones, and you can also often find them at places like Fixparts Online, but a reman is a good way to save some money without sacrificing reliability.
