1400 010 008 Scania Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a vital engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, generating the compressed air necessary for braking and pneumatic operations. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit provides higher air output and faster reservoir filling compared to single-cylinder alternatives. This specific model is built with heavy-duty grade materials to withstand rigorous thermal and mechanical stress.

Compatibility and technical configuration

This unit is specifically compatible with Scania vehicles. It features a through drive design and is equipped with an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The technical configuration includes an M26x1.5 air inlet port, an M22x1.5 air outlet port, and M18x1.5 ports for water inlet and outlet.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should ensure that the water cooling connections are secure and the drive gear aligns perfectly with the engine mounting interface. Maintenance should focus on checking the water flow through the M18x1.5 ports and inspecting the unloader port (M22x1.5) to prevent pressure regulation issues. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact fitment.

Troubleshooting and selection

Regular inspection of the swept volume performance and port integrity helps prevent sudden system pressure drops in heavy-duty applications.
