1380457 SCANIA R340 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The technical function of this twin cylinder air compressor is to provide consistent pneumatic pressure required for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. Engineered with high-strength components, it ensures reliable operation within the engine's air management system. This part is critical for maintaining the integrity of the air brake circuit during heavy-duty service.

1380457 is the OE-equivalent of the SCANIA 1380457 air compressor used in the SCANIA R340. This unit features a dual-cylinder design with a 608cm³ swept volume and a water-cooling configuration to handle demanding thermal loads. It is specifically engineered to meet the strict requirements of the SCANIA R340 series.

For workshop technicians, this unit features a through-drive design and specific port dimensions including an M26x1,5 inlet and M22x1,5 outlet. Regular inspection of the water inlet and outlet ports (M18x1,5) is recommended to ensure optimal cooling performance. Proper installation ensures the ESS feature and unloader functionality work in perfect harmony with the vehicle's pneumatic system.

Maintaining the air compressor is essential for preventing system failures in heavy commercial vehicles. Technicians should verify all port connections and ensure the water cooling pathways are unobstructed to prevent overheating during extended operation.
