51541007178 Compatible MAN NÜ Air Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is a vital engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, designed to generate high-volume compressed air through two piston-cylinder assemblies. By utilizing two compression strokes, it ensures faster reservoir filling compared to single-cylinder alternatives, making it ideal for demanding pneumatic applications.

Compatibility with MAN NÜ models

This specific unit is designed to fit MAN NÜ models, including the 360, 310 CNG, and 310 variants. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicle operations, ensuring reliable air pressure delivery for critical braking and pneumatic functions. Check the compatibility list.

Technical specifications and maintenance
