3104216RX Cummins Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By compressing intake air and delivering it to the air processing unit, it ensures the necessary pressure is maintained within the tanks to facilitate effective braking performance. This unit is engineered with high-strength components to withstand rigorous operating conditions.

Compatibility and technical specifications

The compressor is specifically designed to be compatible with Cummins systems. It features a water-cooled design to prevent overheating during sustained heavy-load operation, making it ideal for long-haul applications. The technical configuration includes an M27x2 air outlet port, an M10x1 unloader port, and a through-drive capability to ensure seamless integration into the engine drive system.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal performance, technicians should regularly inspect the water inlet and outlet ports (M18x1,5) to prevent blockages in the cooling circuit. Ensuring the M25 air inlet remains clear and monitoring the stroke of 56 mm can help prevent premature wear. Maintaining the integrity of the water-cooled valve plate is essential for consistent pressure delivery during vehicle operation.

Troubleshooting and performance

When diagnosing air pressure issues, check the connection between the compressor and the engine drive to ensure efficient power transfer.
