30 06 10 Cummins Compatible Cylinder Head

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head is the cast service part that closes off the top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and carries the seats for the inlet and discharge valves. It holds the piston's compressed air without leaking, routes it out through the discharge port, and carries away part of the compression heat from the body. It is used on single- and twin-cylinder, air-cooled or water-cooled compressors fitted to trucks, tractor units, buses, trailers and heavy equipment.

Compatible engines and vehicles

This component is compatible with Cummins engines including ISBe, ISLe, and ISDe models. It is widely fitted to various heavy commercial vehicles such as KamAZ 4308, KamAZ 65115, Ford Trucks Cargo, Iveco Bus Metro, and Dongfeng Captain. It also supports applications in Yutong ZK6125, Volkswagen Constellation, and other heavy-duty models requiring precise pneumatic performance.

Installation and maintenance

For professional workshop technicians, this part allows for the rebuilding of air brake compressors in place rather than replacing the entire unit. When performing installation, ensure all seating surfaces are clean and check that the valve plate integration is secure to maintain optimal pressure levels. Regular inspection of the cylinder head prevents air leaks within the pneumatic system.

System performance

The part is manufactured to ensure compatibility with high-performance engine architectures used in global heavy commercial fleets.
