Description

What does a cylinder head do?

This cylinder head serves as the critical component sitting atop an air brake compressor's cylinder block, sealing the compression chamber from above. It acts as a service part that allows workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place, providing a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire unit.

Compatibility and system function

This component is compatible with Caterpillar systems. The architecture of the head is designed to govern both the air output and the running temperature of the compressor through internal air passages and cooling cavities.

Installation and maintenance

During installation, technicians should ensure that the valve seats and cooling channels are free of debris to maintain optimal performance. Proper seating of the cylinder cover is essential to prevent pressure leaks within the compression chamber.

Selection guidance

Check the compatibility list for your specific compressor configuration to ensure correct fitment.

OE cross-reference
