A9061306415 Twin Cylinder Compressor for Mercedes-Benz

What does a twin cylinder compressor do?

This twin cylinder compressor is a critical engine-driven component within the air brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing two piston-cylinder assemblies, it generates a higher volume of compressed air compared to single-cylinder units at the same engine speed, ensuring rapid reservoir filling. This unit is built with high-strength components to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses of heavy-duty service.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is compatible with Mercedes-Benz heavy commercial vehicles. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of multi-axle tractor units and heavy trucks that require consistent pneumatic pressure for safe operation. The design focuses on maximizing air output and maintaining system stability under continuous load.

Technical specifications and installation

The technical configuration includes an Ø85.00 cylinder bore and a 56 mm stroke, providing a swept volume of 636cm³. It features M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet ports, along with M14x1,5 and M16x1,5 water ports for efficient cooling. Technicians should ensure all water connections are secure to maintain the integrity of the water-cooled valve plate and prevent overheating during operation.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Regular inspection of the through drive mechanism and port seals is recommended to prevent pressure drops in the braking system. Maintaining clean air intake and proper coolant flow ensures the longevity of the internal piston assemblies.
