Key Features & Benefits

This compressor’s main job is pretty straightforward – it takes in air and squeezes it, building up pressure. It then stores that pressurized air in the air reservoir. The 270 degree refers to how much of the housing is used for cooling – more surface area helps keep things running right. This particular one, the 120 – Variant 4, is a pretty solid, reliable unit that’s known for consistent performance. This compressor is the heart of your air brake system. That pressurized air it creates? That's what actually applies the brakes on big rigs, buses, and some larger trailers. It also powers other air – operated things, like the horn, and can even be used for things like suspension systems on some vehicles. Basically, anything that runs on air pressure relies on this compressor working correctly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a functioning compressor, your air brakes won’t work. It's not something you want to mess around with. You’ll notice if this thing is failing – you’ll hear it struggling, maybe a lot of noise, or the brakes will feel weak and take longer to engage. It’s a critical safety component, honestly. A good compressor keeps everything working as it should, giving you consistent braking power and keeping you safe on the road.
