1736785 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor for DAF

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. It is engineered to provide consistent air pressure required for reliable braking performance and system actuation. Built with high-strength components, it ensures durability under intense thermal and mechanical loads common in heavy-duty operations.

Vehicle compatibility and technical specs

Designed specifically for DAF CF85 models, this unit features a water-cooled design to manage operational temperatures effectively. The technical configuration includes a Ø75.00 mm cylinder bore, a 50 mm stroke, and a 442cm³ swept volume. It is compatible with DAF systems and features through-drive capabilities for seamless integration.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal performance, technicians should verify that all port connections—including the M26x1.5 air ports and M14x1.5 water ports—are properly seated and free of debris during installation. Regular inspection of the unloader port and cooling lines is recommended to prevent system pressure fluctuations in the vehicle's air circuit.

System performance and troubleshooting

Maintaining proper coolant flow through the water inlet and outlet ports is essential for preventing overheating of the valve plate. Ensure that the electrical connections for the ESS feature are secure to maintain correct pressure regulation throughout the service interval.
