Description

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

A compressor cylinder head is the cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above.

Compatibility and application

This part is essential for workshop technicians performing rebuilds, allowing the compressor to be serviced in place rather than replacing the entire unit. It functions as the compressor cover or top cover, housing the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, internal air passages, and cooling cavities. These features directly govern both the air output and the running temperature of the unit.

Installation and maintenance

The component is compatible with Bendix systems. To ensure correct fitment, selection should always be based on the specific architecture of the existing unit, as heads vary depending on whether the compressor is single-cylinder or twin-cylinder, or whether it utilizes air-cooled fins or water-cooled jacket channels.

Selection guidance

When performing maintenance, technicians should inspect the valve plate and gasket surfaces during installation to ensure a complete seal. Consult your authorized distributor for specific application guidance.
