1100 320 002 Single Cylinder Air Compressor for Mercedes-Benz

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as the primary source of compressed air for the braking system in heavy commercial vehicles. By taking drive from the engine, it compresses intake air and directs it to the processing unit and tanks, ensuring consistent pressure for safe vehicle operation. This unit is specifically engineered with water-cooling capabilities to manage operating temperatures during intensive use.

Compatible Mercedes-Benz models and engines

This compressor is compatible with Mercedes-Benz ACTROS MP2 / MP3 models, including various variants such as 1832, 1836, 1841, 1844, 1846, and 1848. It is designed to work seamlessly with OM 501 LA and OM 502 LA engine series. The unit features an M26x1.5 air inlet and outlet port, along with an M12x1 unloader port, ensuring precise integration into existing pneumatic systems.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Maintenance technicians should verify the water inlet (M14x1.5) and outlet (M16x1.5) connections during installation to prevent leaks or overheating. Proper lubrication and regular inspection of the valve plate are essential for maintaining the efficiency of this water-cooled component. Ensuring correct fitment prevents premature wear in the piston and ring assembly.
