460 130 06 15 MERCEDES BENZ AXOR 2 OM457 Air Compressor

This twin cylinder air compressor is a critical component designed for high-pressure pneumatic system stability. Engineered with a Ø85.00 mm cylinder bore and a 56 mm stroke, it provides a swept volume of 636cm³ to ensure consistent air delivery. The water-cooled architecture, including a water-cooled valve plate, allows the unit to manage thermal loads effectively during heavy-duty operation in demanding environments.

460 130 06 15 is the OE-equivalent air compressor used in the MERCEDES BENZ AXOR 2 with the OM457 engine. This part is specifically engineered to meet the strict technical requirements of the vehicle's air brake and pneumatic systems. By maintaining precise tolerances in port sizes—including M26x1,5 for inlet/outlet and M12x1,5 for the unloader—it ensures seamless integration with existing engine-driven components.

For workshop technicians, this unit offers a streamlined installation process thanks to its through-drive design and integrated ESS feature. The water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) require careful connection to the cooling system to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and port seals is recommended during routine heavy commercial vehicle servicing to prevent pressure drops or thermal-related issues.

Maintaining high-strength components like this air compressor is essential for fleet longevity. Given its role in the air brake system of the AXOR 2, ensuring correct fitment with the OM457 engine parameters is vital for preventing downtime and maintaining safety standards in heavy commercial transport.
