3000 060 001 Single Cylinder Compressor for Cummins

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor is a vital component of the pneumatic system in heavy commercial vehicles, producing the compressed air required for reliable braking performance. Designed as a piston-type unit, it utilizes a high-strength component construction to ensure durability under high-pressure conditions. The unit features a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads during sustained operation, ensuring consistent air output.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is engineered for compatibility with various heavy commercial vehicles, including KamAZ, Dongfeng, and Volkswagen Constellation models. It is specifically optimized for use with Cummins ISBe and ISLe engines. Additionally, it is fitted to vehicles from Ford Trucks, Iveco Bus, Yutong, Zhongtong, Paz, Liaz, and Nefaz, providing essential pneumatic support across diverse fleet applications.

Technical specifications and installation

The technical configuration includes an M26x1.5 air inlet port, an M22x1.5 air outlet port, and an M10x1 air unloader port. For proper installation, ensure the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1.5) are correctly integrated into the engine cooling circuit to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Regular inspection of the valve plate and piston movement is recommended to prevent system pressure drops.

Maintenance and reliability

Maintaining the integrity of the air delivery system is crucial for vehicle safety. This compressor is compatible with Cummins systems and provides a reliable alternative for maintaining pneumatic pressure in demanding environments. Check the compatibility list.
