K001240 KNORR-BREMSE Single Cylinder, Air Compressor

The heavy-duty single cylinder air compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. Engineered for precision and durability, this part ensures a consistent air supply through a robust single-cylinder design. It is designed to withstand high-pressure environments and maintain optimal performance during intensive vehicle operations.

K001240 is the OE equivalent of the KNORR-BREMSE Single Cylinder, Air Compressor used in the KNORR-BREMSE braking systems. This component features a Ø92.00 mm cylinder bore and a 54 mm stroke to provide a swept volume of 360cm³. The unit is specifically designed as a water-cooled system to manage thermal loads effectively during long-haul transport.

For workshop technicians, installation requires careful attention to the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) to ensure proper cooling functionality. The air inlet and outlet ports utilize M26x1,5 threading to maintain airtight integrity. Regular maintenance checks of the water-cooling paths and the through-drive mechanism are recommended to ensure the longevity of the air brake compressor system.

This part is engineered for heavy commercial vehicle applications where reliability is paramount. The integration of high-strength components ensures that the air compressor operates within specified tolerances under demanding conditions.
