Description
A compressor 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.
This component is essential for workshop technicians looking to rebuild a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit. It houses the seats for the inlet and discharge valves, the internal air passages, and the cooling cavities. By managing these elements, the head directly governs both the air output and the running temperature of the compressor.
This part is designed to be compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems. It serves as a reliable replacement for maintaining optimal pneumatic performance in heavy commercial vehicle air brake systems.
When performing a rebuild, ensure all seals are inspected to maintain proper pressure. Consulting your authorized distributor can help confirm exact fitment requirements for specific compressor architectures.
