25 13 10 Knorr-Bremse Compatible Cylinder Head

What does a cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head acts as the essential cast service component that sits atop the air brake compressor cylinder block. It is engineered to seal the compression chamber from above, allowing workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. In professional service environments, this part is often referred to as the compressor cover or cylinder cover.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems and is also fitted to Cummins engines. Because different engine options can require different compressor architectures, it is vital to verify the specific design requirements for your application to ensure a precise match.

Installation and maintenance

During installation, technicians should inspect the seating areas for the inlet and discharge valves to ensure a perfect seal. Proper maintenance of the cylinder head and its internal air passages is critical for maintaining consistent air output and managing running temperatures within the pneumatic system.

Selection guidance

Selecting the correct head ensures optimal performance of the air brake system. Consult your authorized distributor to verify the exact specifications required for your specific heavy commercial vehicle application.
