1200 090 001 MAN Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it generates a higher volume of compressed air compared to single-cylinder units, ensuring rapid reservoir inflation. This unit is constructed from heavy-duty grade materials to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses of continuous operation.

Vehicle and system compatibility

This specific model is compatible with MAN vehicles and is designed to meet the performance requirements of heavy-duty applications. It functions effectively within the air brake system to maintain stable pneumatic pressure. It is also an equivalent to Knorr-Bremse systems when specified by technical parameters.

Installation and maintenance

Installation and maintenance should be performed by a workshop technician to ensure correct alignment and sealing. This water-cooled unit features an M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet port, along with an M26x1,5 air outlet port. Regular inspection of the through drive and cooling lines is recommended to prevent system pressure drops.

System performance and selection

Proper selection ensures optimal performance in multi-axle tractor units or heavy trucks. Maintaining the integrity of the water-cooled valve plate is essential for long-term reliability in high-demand environments.

OE cross-reference

1200 090 001 (Twin Cylinder Compressor) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse and MAN OE numbers. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE numbers K00199, K001998, K095873N00, LK4939. It also replaces MAN OE numbers 51541007069, 51541009069.
