1628444A CF85 II Air Brake Compressor — DAF Equivalent

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing a dual-cylinder configuration, it ensures a consistent supply of compressed air required for reliable braking performance and auxiliary pneumatic functions. The unit is built with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and pressure cycles typical in heavy-duty operations.

Compatible vehicles and engine fitment

This specific model is designed for compatibility with DAF CF85 and DAF CF85 II trucks. It features a water-cooled design with an integrated water-cooled valve plate to manage operating temperatures effectively. The unit includes an air unloader port (M12x1,5) and utilizes M26x1,5 ports for air inlet and outlet to maintain optimal flow dynamics.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet connections (M14x1,5) to ensure proper cooling circulation. Given the 19.4 KG weight and the through-drive configuration, correct mounting alignment is essential during replacement to prevent premature wear on the drive assembly or seals.

System reliability and selection

Maintaining regular inspections of the air ports and cooling lines helps prevent system pressure drops. This component is an essential replacement part for maintaining the pneumatic integrity of DAF series heavy commercial vehicles.
