It continuously pumps compressed air into storage reservoirs so the braking system can function correctly. Without a properly operating compressor, the air system cannot maintain pressure needed for service brakes, parking brakes, and emergency braking functions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf the compressor begins to wear internally, drivers may notice slower air pressure build-up, oil contamination in the air system, or irregular governor cycling. Replacing the compressor restores normal air system performance and helps maintain safe braking operation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAce Motor Parts Installation Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen installing a replacement air brake compressor, many technicians recommend inspecting or replacing the \u003cstrong\u003eair governor, discharge line, and air dryer cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e. Contamination from a failing compressor can travel through the air system and affect other components, so servicing related parts at the same time can help prevent repeat failures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 49 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse our complete inventory of \u003ca href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/air-brake-compressors\/\"\u003eair brake compressors\u003c\/a\u003e or explore our selection of \u003ca href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/surplus-air-brake-compressors-for-heavy-duty-trucks\/\"\u003esurplus air brake compressors for heavy duty trucks\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48588336660729,"sku":"RMX276962X","price":563.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/9290\/9049\/files\/276962x-bendix-compressor__32105.jpg?v=1782245622","url":"https:\/\/acemotorparts.com\/products\/276962x-tf-500-air-compressor-bendix-replacement","provider":"Ace Motor Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
