51541007231 MAN TGX 24.540 Air Compressor

The single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary compressed air for operational safety. This unit is constructed with high-strength components designed to handle the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses of long-haul transport. Its robust construction ensures consistent air delivery, which is essential for maintaining stable braking performance in heavy-duty truck applications.

51541007231 is the OE-equivalent of the MAN 51.54100-7231 air compressor used in the MAN TGX 24.540. This single-cylinder unit is specifically calibrated for this vehicle model to ensure seamless integration with the existing pneumatic architecture. The design features a Ø92.00 mm cylinder bore and a 54 mm stroke, delivering a 360cm³ swept volume to meet high-demand air requirements efficiently.

For workshop technicians, this component features specific M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports, alongside M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports to facilitate water-cooled operation. Proper installation requires ensuring the through-drive compatibility and checking all water cooling connections to prevent overheating. Regular maintenance of the cooling system and checking for any leaks at the M26 or M16 connection points is recommended to ensure long-term service life and prevent system failure.

Maintaining precise air pressure is vital for heavy vehicle safety. This compressor's water-cooled design provides superior heat dissipation compared to air-cooled alternatives, making it highly suitable for high-load driving profiles common in the heavy commercial vehicle sector.
