Description

Overview

This caliper thrust push plate right-hand suits Wabco Pan 19 air disc brake calipers used on heavy trailers. It transfers force from the caliper mechanism into the brake pad backing plate, so it plays a key role in consistent pad loading and predictable brake response.

Features

The caliper thrust push plate right-hand is shaped to match the inboard pad contact area on Wabco Pan 19 calipers. This helps spread clamp force over the pad and reduces localised stress. In addition, the right-hand orientation ensures correct fit on the specified side of the axle. Workshops can replace a worn or damaged thrust plate instead of changing the complete caliper, which helps control brake repair costs and downtime.

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB2918.
This right-hand thrust or push plate is designed for Wabco Pan 19 air disc brake calipers fitted to trailer axles. It sits between the adjuster mechanism and the pad backing plate to transfer clamp load cleanly into the friction material. A hardened steel construction typically resists deformation under repeated high clamp forces and temperature changes seen in highway trailer operation. Refer to this manufacturer technical guide for broader information on Wabco Pan series air disc brake service.

Compatibility and Fitment

This thrust push plate right-hand suits Wabco Pan 19 air disc brake calipers in trailer applications that follow the original Wabco caliper layout. Technicians should confirm caliper model and side orientation before ordering, then compare the removed thrust plate with the new part during teardown so the contact faces and location 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.19.5

Compliance and Safety

Heavy vehicle brake work must only be carried out by trained personnel familiar with air disc systems. Always chock wheels, isolate air supply where required and follow workshop lock out procedures before removing any caliper components. After fitting the new thrust plate, technicians should verify smooth 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 19 calipers appear on many European style highway freight, tanker and refrigerated trailers. Replacing a worn right-hand thrust push plate can help restore even pad loading where one side shows uneven wear or heat marks. Fleet workshops can keep this caliper thrust push plate right-hand in stock alongside pads, guide pin kits and adjuster hardware to support planned disc brake overhauls and reduce unplanned downtime.

Cross-reference and Suitability

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

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