5014482 BENDIX Single Cylinder, Air Compressor

The single cylinder air compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for braking and auxiliary functions. This component is designed with high-strength components to withstand rigorous operational cycles in demanding environments. Its primary function is to convert rotational motion into compressed air, maintaining the vital pneumatic integrity of the vehicle's braking system.

5014482 is the OE-equivalent of the BENDIX 5014482 Single Cylinder, Air Compressor used in BENDIX systems. This heavy-duty part is engineered to meet strict technical specifications, featuring a Ø92.00 cylinder bore and a 54 mm stroke to provide optimal volumetric efficiency. The unit is water-cooled (W) and includes a specialized water inlet and outlet port configuration (3/4’’-16 UNF) to manage thermal loads during operation.

Workshop technicians should ensure that the installation follows standard heavy commercial vehicle service protocols. The unit features a through-drive mechanism and specific port dimensions including a 7/8’’-14 UNF air inlet and a 1/8”-27 NPT unloader port. Regular inspection of the water cooling ports and checking for any leaks in the air outlet ensures long-term reliability and prevents system downtime during heavy-duty service cycles.
