K172097N00 KNORR-BREMSE Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The K172097N00 is a precision-engineered air compressor designed for heavy-duty performance within the pneumatic systems of heavy commercial vehicles. This twin cylinder component serves as a critical element in maintaining consistent air pressure, ensuring the reliable operation of the braking and suspension systems. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical demands of industrial transport environments.

K172097N00 is the OE-equivalent of the KNORR-BREMSE K172097N00 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor used in heavy commercial vehicle systems. This unit features a dual-cylinder configuration with a swept volume of 720cm³ and a cylinder bore of Ø86.00. It is specifically designed to be compatible with KNORR-BREMSE hardware, providing a seamless fit for professional workshop installations.

For workshop technicians, this water-cooled air compressor is designed for efficient thermal management via the M18x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports. The assembly includes an integrated ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to ensure stability during high-load cycles. Maintenance of the air unloader port (M10x1) and checking the through-drive alignment are recommended during routine service intervals to ensure optimal pneumatic output.

Maintaining precise air pressure is vital for vehicle safety. This component’s robust construction and specific port dimensions—including the M26x1,5 inlet and M22x1,5 outlet—make it a reliable choice for fleet maintenance and heavy vehicle service centers.
