1242704 DAF Piston & Ring for Air Brake Compressor

This specialized piston and ring set is designed to restore the core functionality of the air brake compressor. By providing precise dimensional accuracy and high-strength components, this kit ensures consistent air pressure generation, which is vital for the safety and reliability of the vehicle's braking system.

1242704 is the OE-equivalent piston and ring used in the DAF 95 XF 480 air brake compressor. This component is essential for maintaining optimal pneumatic performance in heavy commercial vehicle applications, ensuring that the engine's mechanical energy is efficiently converted into pressurized air.

Workshop technicians should ensure that the compressor housing is free of debris before installing these components. The 75,00mm diameter specification must be strictly adhered to during assembly to maintain the integrity of the compression chamber. Proper lubrication and inspection of the cylinder walls are recommended during every service interval to prevent premature wear.

Regular maintenance of the air compressor system helps prevent pressure drops that can affect braking responsiveness. Using high-grade parts like this ensures that the pneumatic systems in your heavy-duty fleet remain operational under demanding service conditions.
