K007564 Compatible Single Cylinder Compressor

What does a single cylinder compressor do?

This single cylinder air brake compressor functions as a critical component within the pneumatic braking system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing a piston-type mechanism, it compresses intake air and delivers it to the air processing unit and storage tanks to ensure consistent braking pressure. This component is essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of the vehicle's entire air brake circuit.

Technical specifications and fitment

This specific model is designed for heavy-duty applications requiring water cooling to prevent overheating during sustained operation. It features an Ø80.00 mm cylinder bore, a 50 mm stroke, and a 250cm³ swept volume. The unit is equipped with an M26x1,5 air outlet port, an M16x1,5 water inlet/outlet configuration, and an M22 air inlet port. It is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional technicians, ensuring proper installation is vital for system longevity. When replacing this unit, verify that the water cooling lines are free of debris and that the M26x1,5 outlet connections are torqued to specification. Regular inspection of the drive mechanism and cooling circuit helps prevent pressure drops in the pneumatic system.

Troubleshooting compression issues

Maintaining correct air pressure levels depends on the integrity of this compressor's internal components. If a reduction in air tank charging speed is observed, inspect the compressor for leaks or cooling inefficiencies.
