1681561 DAF XF 480 EURO5 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

This twin cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary compressed air for braking and auxiliary systems. Designed for high-reliability environments, the unit utilizes a water-cooled mechanism to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation. Its robust construction ensures that the air supply remains stable even under demanding heavy-duty service conditions.

1681561 is the OE-equivalent air compressor used in the DAF XF 480 EURO5. This component is direct replacement for the DAF 1681561, ensuring seamless integration with the vehicle's existing engine architecture. The technical specifications include a cylinder bore of Ø85.00, a dual stroke configuration of 62/21mm, and specialized port sizes (M33x2 inlet and M22x1,5 outlet) to maintain precise pneumatic flow and pressure regulation.

For workshop technicians, installation requires careful attention to the water cooling connections (M16x1,5) and the air unloader port (M14x1,5). This unit is optimized for professional assembly, featuring a through-drive capability and an ESS feature compatibility. Maintaining clean water and air lines during replacement is essential to protect the high-strength components and ensure the longevity of the compressor within the vehicle's braking and suspension systems.

Proper maintenance of the water-cooled valve plate and monitoring of the M33x2 inlet port can prevent common pneumatic failures. This part is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern heavy-duty transport, providing consistent performance for fleet operators and service providers.
