2900 040 002 KNORR-BREMSE Single Cylinder, Air Compressor

The single cylinder air compressor is a vital component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for reliable braking performance. This component is engineered with high-strength components to withstand rigorous operational demands and maintain structural integrity under high pressure.

2900 040 002 is the OE-equivalent single cylinder, air compressor used in VOLKSWAGEN TRUCK and KNORR-BREMSE systems. This part is specifically designed to meet the technical requirements of the following references: KNORR-BREMSE (I90266, I94072, II15131, II15177, LK38) and VOLKSWAGEN TRUCK (TAE 145 605, TAR 145 605).

Designed for workshop technicians and fleet managers, this water-cooled compressor features a single cylinder with a Ø88.00 mm bore and a 37 mm stroke. The assembly includes a through-drive mechanism and utilizes a swept volume of 225cm³. Maintenance involves checking the water inlet and outlet ports (both 1,2” - 14 UNF) to ensure proper cooling and prevent overheating during long-haul operations.

Proper installation requires verifying the compatibility of the air inlet and outlet ports with existing pneumatic lines. Given its robust construction and precise dimensions, this compressor provides stable pneumatic output for heavy-duty applications in trucks and buses.
