Description

What does a cylinder head do?

This cylinder head acts as the critical service component that sits atop an air brake compressor's cylinder block, sealing the compression chamber from above. It is engineered to allow workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. This component is essential for maintaining optimal air output and regulating running temperatures within the pneumatic system.

Compatible systems and applications

This part is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems and Bendix systems. It serves as a high-strength replacement part for heavy commercial vehicle air brake compressors, ensuring reliable performance under sustained pressure.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing maintenance, technicians should inspect the seating areas for inlet and discharge valves to ensure a perfect seal. Proper installation of the cylinder head is vital for preventing air leaks and maintaining consistent pressure throughout the braking system.

Component selection

Selecting the correct head ensures compatibility with specific compressor architectures, whether they are single-cylinder or twin-cylinder configurations.

OE cross-reference

26 08 11 (Compressor Cylinder Head) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number K011809.
