2500 180 001 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Cummins

A Twin-Cylinder Compressor is an engine-driven unit in the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles that generates compressed air using two piston-cylinder assemblies.

This specific model is designed for high-demand applications, featuring a Ø86.00 cylinder bore and a 40 mm stroke to ensure efficient air production. The unit utilizes a water-cooled design to maintain optimal operating temperatures under heavy loads, preventing overheating during continuous use. It is compatible with Cummins and Knorr-Bremse systems, providing reliable performance for various heavy-duty pneumatic architectures.

This compressor is fitted to a wide range of vehicles including Foton Auman, Ram (Dodge) series, Freightliner models, Kenworth trucks, and Peterbilt units. It is also widely used in buses from Thomas Built Buses, Blue Bird, and Ic Bus, as well as various Volkswagen and Dongfeng models to ensure consistent air pressure delivery.

To maintain optimal performance, technicians should regularly inspect the M26x1,5 inlet and outlet ports for leaks and check the water cooling lines for proper flow. Ensuring the integrity of the M16x1,5 water ports will help prevent thermal stress on the internal components. Consult your authorized distributor.
