5301100 Cummins Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic braking system, converting engine power into compressed air. By utilizing a high-strength single-piston design, it ensures a consistent air supply to the air processing unit and storage tanks, which is essential for the braking performance of heavy commercial vehicles. The unit is engineered with water-cooled technology to maintain optimal operating temperatures during intensive duty cycles.

Compatibility and engine fitment

This specific model is designed to be compatible with Cummins engines. It features a through-drive configuration and includes an Electronic Shut-Off System (ESS) feature to optimize efficiency. The assembly includes a water-cooled valve plate to further enhance thermal management during operation.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper installation and maintenance, technicians should ensure the water inlet and outlet ports (3/4" - 16 UNF) are correctly connected to the engine cooling circuit. Regular inspection of the M27x2 air outlet port and the M10x1 unloader port is recommended to prevent leaks. Maintaining clean air intake through the Ø25 port helps extend the service life of the internal components.

System reliability and selection

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure this compressor meets the specific requirements of your engine application.
