Description

Overview

This caliper thrust plate left-hand suits Wabco Pan 17 and Pan 19 air disc brake calipers on heavy trailers. It transfers force from the adjuster and piston into the brake pads, so it plays a key role in consistent pad loading and brake response.

Features

The caliper thrust plate left-hand is shaped to match the pad backing area on Wabco Pan 17 and Pan 19 calipers. This precise shape helps spread load over the pad and reduces localised wear. In addition, the left-hand orientation ensures correct fit on the specified side of the axle. Workshops can replace a worn or damaged thrust plate without changing the complete caliper, which keeps repair costs under control.

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB2917.
This thrust or push plate is designed for Wabco Pan 17 and Pan 19 air disc brake calipers used on trailer axles. It sits between the caliper mechanism and the inboard pad to transfer clamp force. A hardened steel construction typically resists deformation under high clamp loads and repeated brake applications. For general service information on Wabco PAN series air disc brakes, see this Wabco air disc brake maintenance guide

Compatibility and Fitment

This left-hand thrust plate suits Wabco Pan 17 and Pan 19 air disc brake calipers in trailer applications where the caliper body and carrier match the original Wabco design. Technicians should confirm caliper model and orientation before ordering, then compare the removed thrust plate with the new part during teardown so contact faces and alignment points match.
This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. CWSK.19.3, 0810 30157, 081030157

Compliance and Safety

Brake work should only be carried out by trained personnel who understand heavy vehicle air disc systems. Always chock wheels, isolate air supply where required and follow workshop lock out procedures before removing any caliper components. After installing the new thrust plate, technicians must verify free caliper slide movement, correct pad seating and even contact on the disc. A controlled brake test should follow before the trailer returns to loaded service.

Trailer Applications

Wabco Pan 17 and Pan 19 calipers appear on many European style trailer axles in freight, tanker and refrigerated fleets. Replacing a worn thrust plate can restore consistent pad loading where one side shows uneven wear. Fleet workshops can keep this caliper thrust plate left-hand in stock alongside pads, guide pin kits and adjuster hardware to support planned disc brake overhauls and keep downtime short.

Cross-reference and Suitability

This part cross-references to or suits the following equivalent part numbers and compatible alternatives:

These references assist with matching catalogue entries and existing stock, however technicians should still confirm that the removed thrust plate matches the new component in shape and contact area before final installation.
