1813541 Twin Cylinder Compressor for DAF CF

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder air brake compressor is an engine-driven unit designed to provide consistent air pressure for heavy commercial vehicle brake systems. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this component ensures higher air output and faster reservoir filling compared to single-cylinder alternatives. The unit is constructed from high-strength components to withstand demanding operational environments.

Vehicle compatibility and engine fitment

This specific model is designed for DAF CF trucks equipped with PACCAR MX-13 engines. It features a water-cooled design with M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports, ensuring optimal temperature regulation during high-demand cycles. This ensures reliable performance in heavy-duty applications like long-haul transport or construction machinery.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation should be performed by a workshop technician to ensure correct alignment of the through-drive mechanism and proper connection of the M26x1,5 air ports. Regular inspection of the water cooling lines and air inlet/outlet connections is recommended to prevent pressure drops or overheating in the braking system.

Operational performance

For vehicles requiring high air volume, this unit provides the necessary throughput via its 476cm³ swept volume and dual-cylinder configuration.
