513860 Piston & Ring for DAF 95 XF

What does a compressor piston do?

This compressor piston and ring set is a vital component for the pneumatic air brake system in heavy commercial vehicles. It works by compressing air within the cylinder to maintain the necessary pressure for braking operations. The components are manufactured from high-strength materials to withstand the high-pressure and high-temperature environments found in heavy-duty compressors.

Vehicle compatibility and fitment

This specific assembly is fitted to DAF 95 XF models, including various configurations such as the FTR 95 XF 530, FTS 95 XF 430, and FAR 95 XF 480. It is also compatible with other variants like the FAD 95 XF 530, FTG 95 XF 430, and FTT 95 XF 380 to ensure broad fleet coverage.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance, technicians should verify that the piston diameter matches the cylinder bore exactly. For this unit, the diameter is specified at 75.00 mm (STD). It is recommended to check ring groove clearances and end gaps against the vehicle manufacturer's service manual during installation to ensure optimal sealing and prevent binding.

Selection guidance

Proper selection of piston and ring sets prevents air leakage and maintains consistent braking performance. If a liner has been machined, ensure that oversize rings are used instead of this standard size to maintain correct tolerances.

OE cross-reference

7000 753 100 (Compressor Piston & Ring) is the equivalent of the DAF OE number. This part directly replaces DAF OE number 513860.
