51541009101 Twin Cylinder Compressor for MAN SG

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, providing the necessary compressed air for braking and pneumatic operations. Designed with two piston-cylinder assemblies, it delivers higher air output compared to single-cylinder units, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring consistent pressure.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific unit is compatible with MAN SG 260 and 310 models. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicle operations, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. The design ensures seamless integration within the existing pneumatic architecture of the vehicle's braking system.

Technical specifications and installation

Technical specifications include a 720cm³ swept volume and a Ø100.00 mm cylinder bore with a 46mm stroke. For installation and maintenance, note the M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports, alongside M22x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports. This water-cooled design helps maintain optimal operating temperatures during sustained high-load operation.

Maintenance and performance

Regular inspection of the water cooling circuit and port connections is recommended to prevent pressure drops. Maintaining clean coolant flow ensures the longevity of the internal components under heavy service conditions.
