Dimensional data is not published. Manufacturing tolerances vary between production batches, and a fixed published figure that a shipment later disagrees with is worse than no figure at all. Fitment is confirmed by Type and stroke, and by the OEM number stamped on your chamber.

What is this part?
WABCO 897 121 610 4 identifies the diaphragm fitted inside a Type 14 normal stroke service brake chamber. Type 14 refers to the effective area of the diaphragm — 14 square inches — which is what determines the output force the chamber produces at a given air pressure. The normal stroke designation refers to the travel available: standard-travel service brake chambers. A diaphragm of the wrong Type or the wrong stroke will either not seal correctly or will not deliver full travel, so both figures have to match.
What does this number tell you?
WABCO builds air brake systems rather than vehicles, so 897 121 610 4 follows the chamber onto every make that is fitted with it. That is why one number here maps to several vehicle catalogues at once, and why a vehicle manufacturer's number is the narrower way to search.
The same diaphragm is catalogued by Alexander Dennis as 6593611, by Casals as 4229 and by ST-Templin as 02.130.7117.210.
