A4571304515S Single Cylinder Compressor for Mercedes-Benz

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder compressor serves as a critical component in the pneumatic brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing an engine-driven piston mechanism, it generates the necessary compressed air pressure required for the operation of air brake systems and pneumatic components. This specific unit is built with high-strength components to ensure consistent performance under heavy-duty operating conditions.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This unit is compatible with Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the braking system, featuring a water-cooled design to manage thermal loads effectively during sustained operation. The design includes an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to maintain stable temperatures within the cylinder assembly.

Installation and maintenance

For proper maintenance, technicians should inspect the M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports, as well as the M16x1,5 water connection points. Ensuring that the water cooling channels remain free of debris is essential for maintaining the thermal efficiency of the Ø85.00 bore and 56 mm stroke assembly. Always verify that all connections are tightened to specification to prevent pressure drops.

Troubleshooting guidance

If air pressure build-up is slow or uneven, it may indicate a need for inspection of the unloader port or the internal valve plate. Maintaining this component ensures reliable brake performance across various heavy commercial vehicle applications.
