51541007231 MAN NL 262 Air Compressor

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles. Designed to provide consistent air pressure, it utilizes a water-cooled mechanism to maintain optimal operating temperatures during extended use. The robust construction ensures durability under high-load service conditions, making it an essential part for maintaining reliable braking and pneumatic system functionality.

51541007231 is the OE equivalent of the MAN 51.54100-7231 air compressor used in the MAN NL 262. This unit features a 92.00 mm cylinder bore and a 360cm³ swept volume to ensure efficient air production. The integration of a through-drive design and specific port dimensions ensures precise fitment and high-strength performance within the vehicle's existing architecture.

For workshop technicians, installation requires attention to the water inlet and outlet ports, which utilize M16x1,5 specifications, while the air inlet and outlet ports are sized at M26x1,5. Proper alignment of the through-drive and ensuring the water-cooled valve plate is correctly seated is vital for long-term reliability. Regular inspections of the cooling lines and port connections are recommended during routine maintenance intervals to prevent system downtime.

This component is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty transport, providing a reliable solution for fleet managers looking to maintain their vehicle's pneumatic integrity. By using high-strength components, it ensures that the air supply remains constant even under extreme operational stress.
