1696197R DAF XF 480 EURO5 Air Compressor

The 1696197R air compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for safe operation. This twin-cylinder unit is designed with a water-cooling mechanism to maintain optimal thermal stability during high-load cycles, making it ideal for long-haul transport applications.

This specific model is the OE-equivalent of the DAF 1696197R air compressor used in the DAF XF 480 EURO5. It features a dual-cylinder configuration with a bore of Ø85.00 and specialized porting, including an M33x2 air inlet and M22x1.5 outlet, to ensure seamless integration with existing vehicle architectures. The unit also includes a through-drive design and an ESS feature for enhanced functionality.

For workshop technicians and fleet managers, this component offers a reliable solution for maintaining pneumatic system integrity. The installation requires attention to the water cooling ports (M16x1,5) and air ports to ensure proper thermal regulation and pressure delivery. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and connections is recommended during routine service intervals to prevent downtime.

This component is engineered to provide high-strength performance under heavy-duty conditions. By maintaining precise tolerances in the stroke and swept volume, it ensures that the pneumatic system remains responsive and reliable throughout the vehicle's service life.
