85000487 Compatible Twin Cylinder Compressor

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor plays a critical role in the pneumatic braking system by providing a consistent supply of compressed air. Built with heavy-duty grade materials, it is designed to withstand the high-pressure environments typical of heavy commercial vehicle service. The unit features a water-cooled valve plate to manage thermal loads effectively during continuous operation.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

Designed specifically for Volvo FM10 trucks with D10A engines, this component ensures optimal pressure buildup for the entire air brake system. It is compatible with Volvo OE requirements, providing a reliable replacement for fleet managers and workshop technicians looking to maintain system integrity. Check the compatibility list.

Technical specifications and installation

The technical configuration includes an air inlet port of Ø35 and an air outlet port of M26x1,5. With a swept volume of 704cm³ and a weight of 22.2 KG, this unit is optimized for the specific mounting requirements of the FM10 chassis. Technicians should verify that all water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) are properly sealed during installation to prevent coolant leaks.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Regular inspection of the unloader port and water cooling lines is recommended to prevent system failures. Ensuring the through drive mechanism is properly aligned will extend the service life of the internal components within the braking circuit.
