1600 160 002 Compatible Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it generates the high-volume compressed air required for reliable braking performance. The unit is constructed with high-strength components to withstand intense operating conditions in demanding transport environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This EURO6 compliant unit is specifically designed for DAF CF, XF, XG, and XG+ trucks featuring PACCAR MX-13 engines. It functions seamlessly within the braking architecture of these heavy commercial vehicles. The design ensures that air reservoirs are replenished quickly to meet the needs of high-air-demand vehicle configurations.

Installation and maintenance

Technicians should note that this is a water-cooled unit featuring a water-cooled valve plate and an M14x1.5 air unloader port. Installation requires careful attention to the M16x1.5 water inlet and outlet ports to ensure proper thermal management. Regular checks of the cooling system and air intake are essential for maintaining optimal service life.

Selection for high air demand

For heavy-duty applications requiring high air output per revolution, this twin-piston design offers a reliable solution for fleet managers and workshop technicians looking for OEM-grade performance.
