51541007087 MAN SÜ Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This water-cooled single cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By integrating directly into the engine cooling circuit, this unit prevents overheating during sustained high-pressure operations, ensuring consistent air delivery for braking and pneumatic functions. The design focuses on durability and high-efficiency air generation for demanding environments.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific model is engineered for MAN SÜ series applications, including the SÜ 353, SÜ 313, SÜ 273, SÜ 320, and SÜ 360 models. It features an M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet port configuration, along with M16x1,5 water ports to facilitate seamless integration into existing cooling systems. The unit is built with high-strength components to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty transport.

Installation and maintenance

Technicians should verify the water inlet and outlet connections during installation to ensure proper coolant flow through the valve plate. Regular inspection of the M26x1,5 ports and the through-drive mechanism is recommended to maintain optimal system performance. Checking the water-cooled valve plate integrity can prevent pressure drops in the pneumatic circuit.

System performance guidance

For fleet managers and workshop technicians, choosing a unit that matches the exact bore and stroke specifications is essential for maintaining correct air demand levels in the vehicle's braking system.
