Description and Purpose

The Volvo / Mack® Standard T24 Brake Chamber (Part Number: 5554-1427001, Cross Reference: 55541427001) is a crucial compponent for air brake systems, providing reliable braking performance for heavy-duty trucks. Designed for compatibility with International/Navistar, Kenworth T660, Peterbilt 379, and Volvo/Mack VNL 670 Gen 2, this steel brake chamber uses air pressure to apply mechanical force to the vehicle's braking system. Its robust design and high-pressure rating make it suitable for demanding commercial vehicles.

Why Replacement is Important

Brake chambers experience wear from consstant exposure to air pressure and harsh conditions. If left unchecked, worn brake chambers can lead to decreased braking efficiency, air leaks, and potential brake failure. Replacing a damaged or worn T24 brake chamber is essential to restoring optimal braking performance, ensuring safety, and preventing costly damage or accidents caused by unreliable brakes.

Impact on Vehicle Performance

This T24 model features a single diaphragm dessign with a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi for efficient and responsive braking. The 7-3/4 inch push rod length and 3/8-18 NPTF inlet port thread size ensure compatibility with air brake systems, while the 90-degree inlet position angle enhances air flow, optimizing the braeke system's operation. Weighing 8.60 lbs and with dimensions of 8.0 × 7.75 × 7.25 inches, this brake chamber is built for reliability, contributing to consistent and safe vehicle performance.
