5000694824 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor — Renault Trucks R

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system, providing the necessary compressed air for heavy commercial vehicle braking operations. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, this unit delivers higher air output compared to single-cylinder types, ensuring faster reservoir filling for high-demand applications.

Vehicle compatibility and fitment

This specific model is compatible with Renault Trucks R series vehicles, specifically the 312 variant. The unit is engineered to meet the requirements of heavy-duty service, featuring a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads during continuous operation.

Technical specifications and maintenance

Technical specifications include a Ø78.00 cylinder bore and a 52 mm stroke, resulting in a 500cm³ swept volume. The assembly features M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports, alongside M18x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports. Maintenance technicians should verify the through drive and water-cooled valve plate condition during routine inspections.

Troubleshooting and inspection

To ensure optimal performance, check all connection points and water cooling lines regularly. If air pressure build-up slows down or noise increases, inspect the piston-cylinder assemblies and valve plates for signs of wear.
