51541007003 MAN ND Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor functions as a vital component within the air brake system, generating the necessary compressed air through two piston-cylinder assemblies to ensure reliable braking performance. Engineered with high-strength components, it is designed to withstand the demanding operating conditions of heavy commercial vehicle engines.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is compatible with MAN ND vehicles, including the 363 and 313 models. It provides the high air output required by multi-axle tractor units and heavy-duty trucks. The design ensures seamless integration with existing MAN engine configurations.

Installation and maintenance

Installation requires attention to the M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports and the M22x1,5 water cooling ports. Technicians should verify the through drive connection and ensure the water-cooled valve plate is properly seated to maintain optimal thermal management during operation.

Troubleshooting and selection

Regular inspection of the swept volume efficiency and port integrity can prevent system pressure drops. This compressor is a reliable replacement for worn units in demanding transport environments. Consult your authorized distributor.
