This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system, providing the necessary compressed air for vehicle operation. Engineered with high-strength components, it ensures consistent pressure delivery even under heavy-duty operating conditions. The unit features a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific model is fitted to Volvo FM12 trucks equipped with D12C engines. It is designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicle service, ensuring reliable performance for fleet managers and workshop technicians alike. Consult your authorized distributor for precise fitment confirmation.

Installation and maintenance

Technicians should verify the technical specifications during installation, noting the Ø85.00 mm cylinder bore and the M26x1,5 air outlet port. This through-drive unit includes an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to maintain system integrity. Proper inspection of the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports is essential for optimal thermal management.
