1696197R DAF Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

This high-strength twin cylinder air compressor is engineered to provide consistent pneumatic pressure within the vehicle's air brake system. Designed with a water-cooling mechanism, it maintains optimal operating temperatures even under intense heavy-duty cycles. The component features a robust construction with a cylinder bore of Ø85.00 and specialized ports including an M33x2 air inlet and an M22x1,5 air outlet to ensure precise airflow management.

1696197R is the OE-equivalent of the DAF 1696197R air compressor used in the DAF CF 85 and XF 105 series, including XF 410, XF 460, and XF 530 EURO5 models. This part is specifically engineered to match the technical requirements of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring seamless integration with existing pneumatic architectures during maintenance or repair.

Workshop technicians can rely on the precise fitment of this unit, which includes a through-drive capability and an ESS feature. The assembly involves connecting the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports for efficient cooling. Regular inspection of the M33x2 inlet and M22x1,5 outlet connections is recommended during routine service intervals to maintain system integrity and prevent pressure drops in the braking system.

Designed for durability, this compressor is built to withstand the thermal stresses typical of long-haul transport. The integration of a water-cooled valve plate provides an additional layer of reliability for fleet managers looking to minimize downtime in heavy commercial vehicle servicing.
