1796663 SCANIA R500 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The twin cylinder air compressor is a vital component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for braking and suspension functions. This high-strength component is engineered to withstand demanding operational environments, providing reliable air delivery through its precision-engineered dual-cylinder design.

1796663 is the OE-equivalent SCANIA air compressor used in the SCANIA R500. This part is specifically designed to meet the strict technical requirements of the vehicle's pneumatic architecture. It ensures seamless integration with the existing engine and braking systems, maintaining optimal pressure levels during long-haul transport operations.

For workshop technicians, this unit features a water-cooled (W) configuration with specialized port dimensions including an M26x1,5 air inlet and M22x1,5 air outlet. The assembly includes a water-cooled valve plate and an ESS feature to ensure thermal stability. Regular maintenance of the cooling ports and checking the connection integrity at the M18x1,5 water inlet/outlet is recommended to ensure long-term serviceability.

The installation process requires precise alignment of the through-drive mechanism and secure fastening of the M22x1,5 unloader port to prevent pressure leaks. This part is a professional-grade solution for maintaining the pneumatic integrity of heavy-duty truck engines.
