What does a compressor cylinder head do?

This cylinder head is a vital component within the air brake compressor system, responsible for sealing the combustion or compression chamber to maintain consistent pressure. Built with heavy-duty grade materials, it is designed to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific part is compatible with Volvo NH12 trucks, including variants such as the NH 12/340, NH 12/380, NH 12/420, and NH 12/460. It serves as a reliable replacement to restore optimal air pressure delivery in the pneumatic system.

Installation and maintenance

When replacing the cylinder head, technicians should inspect the valve plate and gaskets to ensure a complete seal. Proper installation is critical to prevent air leaks and ensure the longevity of the compressor assembly.
