Description
What does a cylinder head do?
A compressor cylinder head is the cast service component that sits on top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and seals the compression chamber from above.System function and performance
This component is essential for maintaining the integrity of the air compression process. It houses the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, as well as the internal air passages and cooling cavities. By managing these internal pathways, the head directly governs both the compressor's air output and its running temperature under heavy-duty operating conditions.Compatibility and application
This cylinder head is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It allows workshop technicians to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit, making it a cost-effective solution for maintaining heavy commercial vehicle air systems.Installation and maintenance
When performing maintenance, ensure the mounting surfaces are clean and inspect the valve seats for wear. Proper installation of this high-strength component is vital to prevent pressure leaks and ensure consistent pneumatic performance across the braking system.OE cross-reference
15 14 50 (Compressor Cylinder Head) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number K007979.Other OEMs
