571179 SCANIA K270 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The technical function of this twin cylinder air compressor is to provide consistent pneumatic pressure within the vehicle's braking and suspension systems. Built with high-strength components, it ensures steady air delivery even under demanding heavy-duty operating conditions. This unit is specifically engineered for durability and long-term reliability in heavy commercial vehicle applications.

571179 is the OE-equivalent of the SCANIA 571179 twin cylinder air compressor used in the SCANIA K270. This precision-engineered part features a cylinder bore of Ø88.00 and a 50 mm stroke, providing a swept volume of 608cm³. It is designed to be fully compatible with the existing pneumatic architecture of the specified SCANIA engine systems.

For workshop technicians, this air compressor requires careful attention to the water-cooling ports to ensure optimal thermal management. The unit features an M26x1,5 air inlet port, an M22x1,5 air outlet port, and an M22x1,5 air unloader port. Regular inspection of the water inlet (M18x1,5) and outlet (M18x1,5) connections is recommended during routine maintenance to prevent overheating or system failure.

The integration of the ESS feature and the water-cooled valve plate provides advanced protection for the internal components. This ensures that the air compression cycle remains stable during extended operation in heavy commercial environments.
