K012799 KNORR-BREMSE Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The K012799 twin cylinder air compressor is a critical component designed to provide reliable pneumatic pressure within heavy commercial vehicle air brake systems. Featuring a robust Ø88.00 mm cylinder bore and a 50 mm stroke, this unit delivers a swept volume of 608cm³ to ensure consistent air supply. The design incorporates high-strength components and a dedicated water-cooling system to manage thermal loads during operation, maintaining efficiency in high-duty cycles.

K012799 is the OE-equivalent of the KNORR-BREMSE K012799 twin cylinder air compressor used in heavy commercial vehicle pneumatic systems. This precision-engineered part is fully compatible with KNORR-BREMSE hardware requirements, ensuring seamless integration with existing air brake assemblies. The technical configuration includes an M26x1,5 air inlet port, an M22x1,5 air outlet port, and an M22x1,5 air unloader port to meet strict OEM specifications.

For workshop technicians and fleet managers, this air compressor offers ease of assembly thanks to its standardized through-drive design and specific port dimensions. The unit is water-cooled via M18x1,5 inlet and outlet ports to prevent overheating during extended use. Regular maintenance of the cooling lines and ensuring the integrity of the M26x1,5 connection is recommended to maintain optimal service intervals and prevent system pressure drops in the braking circuit.
