1100 170 005 Mercedes-Benz Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic system, providing the necessary compressed air required for the braking performance of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing a piston-type mechanism, it converts mechanical energy into pressurized air to supply the air processing unit and storage tanks.

Compatibility and vehicle fitment

This specific model is designed for compatibility with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It features an air-cooled design and is built with high-strength components to withstand demanding operational conditions in the field.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper maintenance, technicians should inspect the M26x1.5 inlet and outlet ports regularly to prevent leaks. Given the Ø88.00 mm bore and 37 mm stroke specifications, ensuring clean air intake is vital to maintaining the efficiency of the single piston assembly.

System performance and troubleshooting

Maintaining consistent pressure within the pneumatic circuit requires checking the compressor's connection to the engine drive. Regular inspections help prevent sudden drops in braking performance due to component wear.
