1796663 SCANIA K440 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The heavy-duty twin cylinder air compressor is a vital component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for braking and auxiliary systems. This unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand rigorous operational demands and maintains structural integrity under continuous thermal and mechanical stress.

1796663 is the OE-equivalent of the SCANIA 1796663 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor used in the SCANIA K440. This precision-engineered part features a cylinder bore of Ø88.00 and a swept volume of 608cm³, specifically designed to meet the strict requirements of the Scania K440 engine environment.

Workshop technicians should note that this water-cooled unit utilizes an M26x1,5 air inlet port and an M22x1,5 air outlet port for seamless integration. Proper installation involves ensuring the water inlet and outlet ports (M18x1,5) are correctly connected to the cooling circuit to prevent overheating and maintain optimal compressor performance during long-haul operations.

Maintenance of the air compressor system is essential for preventing downtime in heavy-duty vehicle fleets. Regular checks of the through-drive mechanism and the unloader port functionality will ensure the longevity of the breathing system and overall vehicle safety.
