303.06.0151 Compatible ALB Load Sensing Valve

What does an ALB load sensing valve do?

This ALB load sensing valve plays a critical role in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles by adjusting brake pressure according to the vehicle load. By sensing the weight on the axle, it ensures optimal braking performance and prevents wheel lock-up during deceleration. This high-strength component is manufactured to meet rigorous industrial standards for reliability.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

The valve is compatible with various Volvo models including the F10, F12, F7, FL10, FL12, N10, N12, NL10, NL12, B10B, B10M, and B12 engines such as TD120 and D12A. It is also fitted to Iveco and MAN trucks. This component works seamlessly within systems compatible with WABCO.

Installation and maintenance

Installation and maintenance should be performed by a workshop technician to ensure correct port alignment. The unit features specific port configurations including Port 1 (M22x1.5), Port 2 (M16x1.5), and Port 4 (M16x1.50), with operating pressures ranging from 0.5 BAR at empty pressure to 8 BAR at full pressure. Regular inspection of the sensing mechanism is recommended to maintain braking precision.

Selection guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment for your specific engine configuration.
