1512834 SCANIA R490 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The heavy-duty R490 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor is an essential component for maintaining consistent pneumatic pressure within the vehicle's air brake system. Engineered with high-strength components, this unit ensures reliable air production even under demanding operational cycles. The water-cooled design and specialized valve plate architecture allow for optimal thermal management during continuous operation.

1512834 is the OE-equivalent of the SCANIA 1512834 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor used in the SCANIA R490. This precision-engineered part meets strict technical requirements for heavy commercial vehicle applications. It features a cylinder bore of Ø88.00 and a stroke of 50 mm to provide the necessary swept volume of 608cm³ for stable system performance.

For workshop technicians, this compressor offers seamless installation due to its standardized port sizes, including M26x1,5 for air inlet and M22x1,5 for the unloader port. The water-cooled system utilizes M18x1,5 ports for both inlet and outlet to ensure efficient heat dissipation. Regular maintenance of the air filtration and cooling pathways is recommended to ensure the longevity of the internal components and overall system reliability.

This component is specifically designed to maintain high output efficiency in heavy-duty truck environments. The inclusion of the ESS feature and the robust through-drive design guarantees that it can withstand the mechanical stresses typical of long-haul transport operations.
