1200 260 003 MAN Compatible Air Compressor with Clutch

What does an air compressor do?

This air compressor with clutch serves as a vital component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It functions by converting mechanical energy from the engine into compressed air, ensuring consistent pressure for brake actuation and auxiliary systems. The integrated clutch assembly allows for efficient engagement and disengagement, reducing unnecessary engine load during operation.

Compatibility and technical specifications

This specific model is designed for compatibility with MAN trucks and meets the requirements of Knorr-Bremse systems. It features a single cylinder design with a Ø92.00 mm cylinder diameter and a 54 mm stroke, providing a swept volume of 360cm³. The unit is designed as a water-cooled component to manage operating temperatures effectively during long-haul cycles.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper installation, technicians should verify the M26x1,5 air outlet port and the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports. Regular inspection of the clutch engagement and cooling lines is recommended to prevent system pressure drops. Maintaining clean coolant flow through the water-cooled valve plate is essential for the longevity of the internal components.

System reliability and selection

Ensure all connections are tightened to specification to prevent leaks in the pneumatic circuit. This compressor is engineered using high-strength components to withstand the rigorous duty cycles of heavy commercial transport. Consult your authorized distributor.
