1100 460 001 Air Compressor for Knorr-Bremse systems

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It functions by compressing intake air and directing it toward the air processing unit and storage tanks to ensure consistent pressure. This unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy-duty operating environments.

Compatibility and technical specifications

This specific model is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems and is designed for efficient air production. It features a water-cooled design to manage operating temperatures effectively, utilizing an M14x1,5 water inlet and outlet port. The unit provides a reliable solution for vehicles requiring steady pneumatic pressure for braking and auxiliary systems.

Installation and maintenance

For proper maintenance, technicians should inspect the water cooling lines and ensure the M26x1,5 outlet port remains free of contaminants. Regular checks of the through drive mechanism and valve plate integrity are essential to prevent pressure drops in the braking circuit. Consult your authorized distributor for installation guidance.

System performance and maintenance

Maintaining correct lubrication levels in the surrounding system helps preserve the efficiency of the single piston assembly. Ensuring that the swept volume of 225cm³ meets the specific vehicle requirement is vital for optimal air delivery during braking cycles.
