1800 010 003 Single Cylinder Air Compressor for Ford Trucks

What does a single cylinder air compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing a single-piston mechanism, it compresses intake air to supply the air processing units and storage tanks required for effective braking performance. This water-cooled design is engineered with high-strength components to ensure stable operation and prevent overheating during sustained heavy-duty service.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific unit is compatible with Ford Trucks vehicles, including the Cargo 2530, Cargo 2532, Cargo 3230, Cargo 3232, and Cargo 3532 models. It is specifically designed to work with Ford Trucks Ecotorq 7.3 (Euro 3) and Ecotorq 7.3 / 9.0 (Euro 5) engines, ensuring precise integration with the vehicle's existing pneumatic architecture.

Installation and maintenance

For professional installation, technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet connections (M16x1,5) and ensure the M26x1,5 air inlet port is properly seated. This through-drive compressor features an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to maintain thermal stability under load.

System performance guidance

Regular inspection of the M10x1 unloader port and cooling lines is recommended to prevent system pressure fluctuations. Maintaining the integrity of the cooling circuit ensures the longevity of the internal piston and ring assemblies.
