LK1518 KNORR-BREMSE Single Cylinder Air Compressor

This single cylinder air compressor is a vital component within the pneumatic braking and control systems of heavy commercial vehicles. Designed to provide reliable air pressure, it maintains the functional integrity of the vehicle's pneumatic circuits through high-strength components and precise engineering. Its robust construction ensures long-term operational stability under demanding duty cycles.

LK1518 is the OE-equivalent single cylinder air compressor used in KNORR-BREMSE systems. This unit features a 75.00 mm bore and a 35 mm stroke, providing a swept volume of 150cm³. The assembly is designed for air-cooled (A) applications, ensuring optimal thermal management during operation to prevent system failure.

Workshop technicians should ensure that the M26x1,5 inlet and outlet ports are inspected for thread integrity during installation to prevent leaks. This part is specifically engineered for seamless integration into existing pneumatic systems, facilitating easier maintenance and preventing downtime. Proper alignment and secure mounting are essential to maintain the high-pressure output required for heavy-duty performance.

Regular inspections of the air inlet and outlet connections are recommended to ensure that the compressor operates within its intended technical specifications. Maintaining clean airflow through the M26x1,5 ports will help preserve the longevity of the internal single-cylinder mechanism.
