1600 040 001 DAF Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the pneumatic air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit delivers a higher air volume output compared to single-cylinder alternatives, ensuring that air reservoirs are replenished rapidly even under high demand. Built with high-strength components, it is designed to maintain consistent pressure for heavy-duty service environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is designed for compatibility with DAF F95 380 ATi and DAF F95 430 ATi models. It is also an equivalent solution for WABCO systems requiring similar performance specifications. The unit features a through drive design and is engineered to operate effectively within the demanding pneumatic cycles of heavy trucks.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal installation and longevity, technicians should verify that the water inlet and outlet ports (M14x1,5) align with the existing cooling lines. Given the Ø75.00 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, ensuring correct mounting torque and checking the water cooling flow is essential during replacement to prevent overheating. Check the compatibility list.

Replacement and selection advice

When replacing a worn unit, it is vital to match the technical specifications exactly to avoid system imbalances. A compressor with incorrect capacity may cause the engine to run continuously under load, leading to premature wear of internal components.
