Wabco 4214410220 Piston Cylinder

Description

The Wabco 4214410220 Piston Operating Cylinder is a crucial component within brake control systems. It is designed to convert hydraulic pressure into linear motion, enabling the actuation of brake mechanisms. This cylinder is commonly used in braking systems requiring precise and reliable control. With dimensions of 280 x 50 x 50 mm, a 35.0 mm piston diameter and an operational pressure up to 8.0 bar, this double-acting cylinder delivers consistent performance and durability. Its technical specification adheres to OE standards, ensuring compatibility and reliability while providing a calculated volume of 0.7 and a stroke of 55.0 mm.

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.
