16 06 10 DAF Compressor Cylinder Head

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

A compressor cylinder head is a vital component within the air brake compressor assembly, responsible for sealing the combustion or compression chamber to maintain consistent pneumatic pressure. This part ensures that air is efficiently pressurized and delivered to the braking system of heavy commercial vehicles, supporting safe and controlled deceleration.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific component is engineered to fit various heavy-duty applications, including DAF 85 CF, 95 XF, and XF 95 models, as well as Bova Magiq and Futura series. It is also suitable for Solaris Vacanza coaches and Ginaf X-Series units. For optimal performance, ensure the head matches the specific compressor architecture used in the vehicle's engine setup.

Installation and maintenance

Installation of this cylinder head requires precise alignment to maintain an airtight seal within the pneumatic circuit. Technicians should inspect the surrounding valve assemblies and gaskets during replacement to prevent air leaks. Maintaining clean mounting surfaces is essential for long-term reliability under high-pressure operating conditions.

Selection guidance

When selecting a replacement, verify compatibility with existing WABCO or other system makers to ensure proper integration with the vehicle's air management system.
