1696197 DAF XF 480 EURO5 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

This twin cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. Engineered for high-duty cycles, the unit utilizes a water-cooled design to maintain optimal operating temperatures, ensuring reliable air production for the vehicle's braking and suspension systems. The precision-engineered cylinders provide stable pressure even under demanding transport conditions.

1696197 is the OE-equivalent of the DAF 1696197 twin cylinder air compressor used in the DAF XF 480 EURO5. This technical component is essential for maintaining the pneumatic integrity of the vehicle, providing seamless integration with existing heavy-duty systems. The assembly features a through-drive configuration and specific port sizes including M33x2 for air inlet and M22x1,5 for air outlet.

For workshop technicians, this unit offers a direct fitment with precise specifications such as a 62/21mm stroke and a 352/119 cm³ swept volume. Maintenance and installation should account for the water-cooling requirements, ensuring the M16x1,5 water ports are correctly connected to prevent overheating. Regular inspection of the unloader port (M14x1,5) and air ports is recommended to ensure long-term system efficiency and prevent pressure fluctuations.
