51541007116 MAN TGA 18.480 Air Compressor

This single cylinder air compressor plays a critical role in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for braking and auxiliary functions. Engineered with high-strength components, the unit features a 360cm³ swept volume and a robust water-cooled design to maintain optimal operating temperatures during intense service cycles.

51541007116 is the OE equivalent of the MAN 51.54100-7116 single cylinder air compressor used in the MAN TGA 18.480. This component is essential for maintaining the pneumatic integrity of the vehicle's air brake system, providing the necessary throughput required for heavy-duty transport applications.

For workshop technicians, this unit is characterized by its specific port dimensions, including M26x1,5 for air inlet/outlet and M16x1,5 for water circulation. Proper installation requires verifying the compatibility of the through-drive mechanism and ensuring the water-cooled valve plate is correctly seated to prevent overheating and maintain system pressure.

The component is built to withstand the rigors of long-haul operations, focusing on durability within the air brake subsystem. Regular inspection of the water inlet and outlet ports is recommended during routine maintenance to ensure the cooling efficiency remains optimal for the single cylinder architecture.
