2900 010 008 Volkswagen Truck Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This water-cooled single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By compressing intake air and delivering it to the air processing unit, it ensures consistent pressure for the entire braking circuit. This unit is constructed with high-strength components to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical demands of continuous operation.

Compatibility and technical specifications

Specifically designed for compatibility with Volkswagen Truck vehicles, this single cylinder unit features a Ø85.00mm bore and a 56mm stroke. It utilizes a water-cooling system through 1/2”-14 NPT inlet and outlet ports to manage operating temperatures effectively. The assembly also includes an M10x1 air unloader port and 3/4”-14 NPT inlet/outlet ports to ensure precise pneumatic control.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For workshop technicians, maintaining correct clearance and inspecting the cooling lines is vital for optimal performance. Ensuring the water-cooled ports are free from debris prevents overheating and maintains the integrity of the internal piston assembly. Regular checks of the through-drive mechanism are recommended during routine maintenance intervals.

System performance and selection

Proper selection of this compressor ensures stable air pressure for braking, steering, and suspension systems in heavy-duty applications. Check the compatibility list to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle requirements.
