1200 070 003 MAN Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

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. By utilizing a piston-driven mechanism, it compresses intake air to provide the necessary pressure for the air processing unit and storage tanks. The unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses encountered during continuous operation.

Compatibility and technical specifications

This specific model is designed for compatibility with MAN vehicles. It features a water-cooled design to manage operating temperatures effectively, featuring an air inlet port of M26x1.5 and water ports of M22x1.5. The through-drive configuration ensures efficient power transfer from the engine to maintain consistent system pressure.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal performance, workshop technicians should inspect the water inlet and outlet ports during every service interval to prevent cooling blockages. Given the 14.4 KG weight and specific port dimensions, ensuring correct mounting torque and seal integrity is vital for preventing pressure leaks in the pneumatic circuit.

Troubleshooting and system health

Regular monitoring of air output and checking for excessive oil carryover can help identify potential wear before a complete system failure occurs. Consult your authorized distributor to confirm exact fitment specifications.
