3104216RX Compatible Cummins Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as the primary component for generating compressed air within the braking system. By utilizing a high-strength piston mechanism, it compresses intake air to provide the necessary pressure for air tanks and processing units in heavy commercial vehicles. The water-cooled design ensures stable operation during sustained heavy-duty cycles by integrating directly into the engine cooling circuit.

Compatibility and technical specifications

This component is compatible with Cummins engines and systems. Its technical configuration includes a 318cm³ swept volume and a through-drive design to ensure efficient energy transfer. The unit is built with high-strength components to maintain performance under high-pressure conditions.

Maintenance and installation guidance

For optimal performance, technicians should inspect the water inlet and outlet ports (M18x1,5) to prevent overheating. Regular checks of the air unloader port (M10x1) and ensuring the ESS feature functions correctly will help maintain consistent system pressure and prevent premature wear of internal components.

Operational reliability

Maintaining the integrity of the cooling lines and checking for air leaks at the M27x2 outlet port are essential maintenance steps for fleet managers to ensure braking reliability.
