A9061302215 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Mercedes-Benz

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor serves as a critical component in the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles, generating the necessary compressed air through two piston-cylinder assemblies. By utilizing two compression strokes per crankshaft revolution, it delivers a higher air output than single-cylinder alternatives, ensuring that air reservoirs are filled more efficiently even under high demand.

Compatibility and technical specifications

This specific model is designed for compatibility with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It features a water-cooled design with a water inlet port of M12x1,5 and an outlet port of M16x1,5 to manage thermal loads effectively during operation. The unit is equipped with an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to maintain consistent performance under heavy load.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For technicians performing installation or maintenance, this unit provides an M26x1,5 air outlet port and an M12x1,5 air unloader port.
