K049820N06 KNORR-BREMSE Single Cylinder, Air Compressor

The heavy-duty Single Cylinder, Air Compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic systems of heavy commercial vehicles. This part is engineered to provide consistent air pressure through a robust water-cooling system, ensuring reliable performance under demanding operational conditions. Designed with high-strength components, it maintains structural integrity during continuous service cycles.

K049820N06 is the OE-equivalent of the KNORR-BREMSE Single Cylinder, Air Compressor used in heavy commercial vehicle systems. This specific model features a cylinder bore of Ø92.00 and a stroke of 54 mm, providing a swept volume of 360cm³. It is fully compatible with KNORR-BREMSE hardware and meets strict technical specifications for air and water port connections.

For workshop technicians, this unit features an M26x1,5 air inlet and outlet port configuration, alongside an M10x1 unloader port. The water-cooled design utilizes M16x1,5 ports for both inlet and outlet to ensure efficient thermal management. Proper installation and regular checks of the water-cooled valve plate and ESS feature are essential for maintaining optimal air brake system pressure.

Maintaining the compressor involves regular inspections of the through-drive assembly and ensuring the water cooling paths remain unobstructed. Using high-grade components ensures that the air compressor functions effectively within the braking system architecture, preventing pressure drops in heavy commercial vehicle fleets.
