51541009005 Compatible MAN LION´S CITY Air Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is a critical component in the pneumatic braking system, designed to provide high air output for demanding applications. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it meets the air pressure requirements of heavy commercial vehicles more efficiently than single-cylinder alternatives. Built with high-strength components, it ensures long-term reliability under intense operating conditions.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is compatible with MAN LION´S CITY (A 26 and A 39) engines. It functions as an engine-driven component that maintains consistent pressure within the air brake system. It is also fitted to other heavy commercial vehicle models requiring high-capacity air delivery.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Installation requires careful attention to the water-cooling ports, which feature M22x1,5 threads, and the air inlet/outlet ports with M26x1,5 threading. Maintaining the intake filter and ensuring proper coolant flow through the water ports is essential for preventing premature wear. The unit has a total weight of 32.2 KG and features a through-drive configuration.

Replacement considerations

When replacing this compressor, technicians should verify that the drive type and mounting interface match the original equipment exactly to ensure proper fitment and system integrity.
