51541007078 LION´S COACH Compressor Equivalent

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary compressed air for braking operations. Designed with a robust single-piston housing, it ensures consistent pressure delivery to the air processing unit and storage tanks. This unit is engineered using heavy-duty grade materials to withstand demanding thermal and mechanical stresses during continuous operation.

Vehicle compatibility and fitment

This specific model is compatible with MAN LION´S COACH 400 vehicles. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing pneumatic architectures, ensuring reliable air production for the vehicle's braking and suspension systems. The design incorporates a water-cooled valve plate to maintain optimal operating temperatures under heavy workloads.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation requires careful attention to the M26x1,5 air ports and the M16x1,5 water inlet/outlet ports to prevent leaks. Technicians should verify that the through-drive connection aligns perfectly with the engine interface during assembly to ensure efficient power transfer and prevent premature wear on internal components.

Troubleshooting and performance

Regular inspection of the 360cm³ swept volume performance and cooling flow is recommended to maintain system integrity. Proper maintenance helps prevent air leaks and ensures the compressor continues to meet the high-pressure demands of the vehicle's braking circuit.
