1600 170 002 PACCAR Single Cylinder, Air Compressor

This single cylinder air compressor is engineered to provide reliable pneumatic pressure for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. Featuring a swept volume of 440 cm³ and a robust water-cooling design, this component ensures consistent performance under demanding operational conditions. The high-strength components are designed to meet the rigorous requirements of modern air brake systems.

1600 170 002 is the OE equivalent of the PACCAR 2121412 and WABCO 912 218 001 0 and WABCO 912 218 003 0 single cylinder air compressors used in PACCAR MX 13 engines, PETERBILT 579 (PACCAR MX 13), and KENWORTH T680 (PACCAR MX 13) heavy vehicles. This part ensures seamless integration with existing braking hardware.

For workshop technicians, the installation requires attention to the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) and the air unloader port (M14x1,5). The unit features a through-drive mechanism and is optimized for water-cooled environments to maintain thermal stability. Regular inspection of the air inlet (Ø30) and outlet (Ø20) connections is recommended during routine maintenance to ensure system integrity.

Maintaining the correct pressure levels in the pneumatic system is critical for vehicle safety. This compressor provides the necessary airflow for heavy-duty transport applications, ensuring that the air brake system remains responsive and reliable during long-haul operations.
