1728435 SCANIA R230 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The heavy-duty twin cylinder air compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. Designed to provide consistent air pressure, this unit ensures the operational stability of the vehicle's braking functions. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand demanding thermal and mechanical stresses during long-haul transport operations.

1728435 is the OE-equivalent of the SCANIA 1728435 twin cylinder air compressor used in the SCANIA R230. This precise component is vital for maintaining the air reservoir levels and ensuring the pneumatic systems function within standard parameters. It features a water-cooled design with an M26x1,5 inlet and specialized ports to ensure optimal heat dissipation during engine operation.

Workshop technicians can rely on this part for seamless integration into the existing vehicle architecture. The unit includes a through-drive configuration and an ESS feature to enhance system reliability. When performing maintenance or replacement, ensure all port connections—specifically the M18x1,5 water ports and M22x1,5 unloader port—are secured to prevent leakage or pressure loss in the air brake system.

Proper installation of this twin cylinder unit helps prevent common pneumatic failures such as pressure drops or irregular cycling. By using this high-grade replacement, fleet managers can maintain the safety standards required for heavy commercial vehicle service and prevent unexpected downtime in the workshop.
