457 130 63 15 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Mercedes-Benz

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies to generate compressed air. By providing two compression strokes per revolution, it delivers higher air output compared to single-cylinder versions, allowing for faster reservoir filling. This makes it an essential part for multi-axle tractor units and heavy-duty machinery requiring consistent pneumatic pressure.

Vehicle compatibility and technical features

The unit is engineered for high-demand environments and is compatible with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This specific model features a water-cooled design with an M16x1.5 water inlet and outlet port, alongside an M30x1.5 air inlet port and M26x1.5 air outlet port. The internal architecture includes a water-cooled valve plate and ESS feature to maintain operational stability under heavy loads.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify the through drive configuration and ensure the cooling system is properly integrated with the M16x1.5 ports. Maintaining the integrity of the water cooling lines and checking the 60/30 mm stroke performance during routine maintenance can prevent system pressure drops. Check the compatibility list for exact fitment.

Troubleshooting and replacement

When replacing an old unit, ensure the new compressor matches the original technical specifications, including the 26.1 KG weight and specific port dimensions to avoid installation issues.
