What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system, providing the necessary compressed air for vehicle operation. Built with high-strength components, this unit ensures consistent pressure delivery even under demanding heavy commercial vehicle conditions.

Compatible Volvo vehicles and engines

This specific model is designed for Volvo FH series trucks, including various power outputs such as 400, 420, 440, 460, 480, 500, 520, and 540 models. It is also specifically compatible with Volvo FH16 engines featuring the D16C designation. The unit features a through drive design and is optimized for water cooling to manage operating temperatures effectively.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Technicians should verify that all connections are secure during installation, specifically the M26x1,5 air outlet port and the M16x1,5 water inlet/outlet ports. Given the Ø85.00mm bore and 56 mm stroke, regular checks of the valve plate and piston rings are recommended to maintain peak efficiency in the pneumatic system.

Troubleshooting and maintenance

If the compressor exhibits a drop in pressure or increased noise during operation, inspect the unloader port (M12x1,5) and cooling lines for any signs of blockage or leakage. Consult your authorized distributor.
