571179 SCANIA 164-580 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

The 571179 twin cylinder air compressor is a critical component designed to ensure consistent pneumatic pressure within the heavy commercial vehicle's braking and control systems. Engineered for high-durability service, this unit features a robust water-cooled design to manage thermal loads effectively during intense operation. It serves as a vital part of the air brake system, providing reliable air compression for demanding transport environments.

571179 is the OE-equivalent of the SCANIA 571179 twin cylinder air compressor used in the SCANIA 164-580. This component is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the SCANIA 164-580 series, ensuring seamless integration and optimal system pressure. The technical specifications include a cylinder bore of Ø88.00 and a swept volume of 608cm³, maintaining high efficiency throughout its service life.

For workshop technicians, this air compressor offers straightforward installation with standardized port sizes including an M26x1,5 air inlet and M22x1,5 air outlet. The unit is water-cooled (W) to ensure stability under heavy loads. It is essential to verify compatibility with the vehicle's existing cooling lines and pneumatic connections during assembly to maintain peak performance and prevent system leaks.

Maintaining this component involves regular checks of the water inlet and outlet ports (M18x1,5) and ensuring the ESS feature functions correctly within the braking circuit. Regular maintenance of the water-cooling system helps prevent overheating and extends the operational life of the twin cylinder assembly.
