51541009231 MAN TGX 18.480 Air Compressor

The single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air supply for braking and suspension functions. This specific unit is designed with a high-strength build to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses typical of heavy-duty transport environments. Its robust construction guarantees long-term operational reliability in demanding workshop service cycles.

51541009231 is the OE-equivalent air compressor used in the MAN TGX 18.480. This component is precision-engineered to match the technical requirements of the original equipment, featuring a 92.00 mm cylinder bore and a 54 mm stroke to provide optimal swept volume of 360cm³. It is specifically designed for compatibility with MAN vehicle systems to maintain seamless integration with existing engine architectures.

For workshop technicians, this unit offers straightforward installation with standardized M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports, alongside M16x1,5 water ports for effective thermal management. The water-cooled design ensures that the compressor operates within safe temperature ranges even under high-load conditions. Regular maintenance and inspection of the water-cooled valve plate and port seals are recommended to ensure peak pneumatic performance.

Proper fitment and adherence to technical specifications are essential when replacing air brake components. This compressor provides a reliable solution for maintaining the pneumatic integrity of the vehicle's braking system, ensuring that the heavy commercial vehicle remains roadworthy and compliant with safety standards.
