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 fitment

This component is essential for workshop technicians looking to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. It contains the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, as well as the internal air passages and cooling cavities, which directly govern both the air output and the running temperature of the unit.

Installation and maintenance

The cylinder head is compatible with Perkins systems and is engineered to withstand high-pressure operating conditions. Ensuring a precise seal during installation is vital for maintaining consistent pneumatic pressure within the braking system.

Selection guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure this part matches your specific compressor architecture, whether it is an air-cooled or water-cooled configuration.
