Description

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head serves as the essential component that closes off the top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block. It carries the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, ensuring the piston's compressed air remains contained without leaking while routing it through the discharge port. This part also plays a vital role in managing compression heat by conducting it away from the main body.

Compatible vehicles and systems

This component is specifically designed for use in Volkswagen Truck air brake systems. It is compatible with WABCO systems and meets high-strength requirements for heavy commercial vehicle applications, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance or rebuilding an air brake compressor, technicians should inspect the cylinder head for any signs of surface wear or valve seat erosion. Proper installation ensures an airtight integration within the pneumatic system, maintaining consistent air pressure for the vehicle's braking performance.

Troubleshooting and selection

Maintaining a regular inspection of the cylinder head helps prevent air leaks and ensures the longevity of the entire compressor assembly. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment for your specific engine configuration.
