5001836982 Renault Trucks KERAX Air Compressor Equivalent

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is an engine-driven unit in the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles that generates compressed air using two piston-cylinder assemblies.

Compatibility with Renault Trucks KERAX

Designed specifically for Renault Trucks KERAX applications, this water-cooled unit ensures reliable air pressure generation even under sustained heavy loads. It features a 500cm³ swept volume and a Ø78.00 mm cylinder bore, providing the high air output required by heavy-duty braking systems. This component is essential for maintaining consistent pneumatic pressure in multi-axle vehicles and heavy-duty trucks.

Installation and maintenance guidance

The unit is compatible with various Renault Trucks KERAX models including the 330, 380, 430, 440, and 460 series. For proper installation, ensure the M26x1,5 air ports and M18x1,5 water inlet/outlet ports are correctly aligned with the engine cooling circuit to prevent overheating. Regular inspection of the water-cooled valve plate is recommended to maintain optimal performance.

Troubleshooting air supply

Maintaining correct air pressure levels and checking for leaks in the cooling lines helps prevent system failures. If the air reservoir fills slowly, check the through drive mechanism and the integrity of the cylinder seals. Consult your authorized distributor.
