Description

What does a cylinder head do?

A compressor cylinder head is the cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above. This component is essential for maintaining the integrity of the pneumatic system by preventing air leaks and managing internal pressure.

Compatibility and application

This part is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It serves as a reliable replacement to allow a workshop technician to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit, helping to optimize maintenance costs for heavy commercial vehicle fleets.

Installation and maintenance

When inspecting or replacing the head, technicians should verify the cooling type and port configuration. Proper installation ensures the seats for the inlet and discharge valves remain aligned, which directly governs both the air output and the running temperature of the compressor.

Selection guidance

Identifying the correct head requires matching the specific compressor architecture, as variations exist between single-cylinder and twin-cylinder configurations to meet different air demand requirements.

OE cross-reference

15 03 50 (Compressor Cylinder Head) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number 76622702.
