Description

What does a cylinder head do?

This 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. It serves as a vital component for workshop technicians looking to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. Inside the head, the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, internal air passages, and cooling cavities are integrated to govern both air output and running temperature.

Compatibility and fitment

This component is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It is specifically designed to withstand the high-pressure environments found in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, providing a reliable seal for the compression chamber.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance or repairs, ensure that all valve seats and internal passages are inspected. The integrity of the cylinder head directly impacts the compressor's ability to maintain consistent air pressure and manage thermal loads during operation.

Troubleshooting guidance

Consult your authorized distributor.
