1696197 DAF CF 85.360 EURO5 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

The heavy-duty twin cylinder air compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. Engineered to provide consistent air pressure, this unit utilizes a water-cooled design to maintain optimal operating temperatures during intense service cycles. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability in demanding transport environments.

1696197 is the OE-equivalent of the DAF 1696197 air compressor used in the DAF CF 85.360 EURO5. This part is engineered to meet exact dimensional requirements, including a Ø85.00 cylinder bore and specific port dimensions for seamless integration into the vehicle's air brake system.

For workshop technicians, this component offers straightforward installation with through-drive compatibility. The unit features an M33x2 air inlet port and an M22x1,5 air outlet port, alongside an M14x1,5 unloader port. Ensuring the water cooling ports (M16x1,5) are correctly connected is essential for maintaining the thermal stability of the valve plate and overall system efficiency.

Regular maintenance of the air compressor and checking the water cooling connections can prevent pressure fluctuations in the braking system. This part is specifically designed to match the technical demands of modern heavy-duty truck applications where reliability is paramount.
