Air, vacuum and DC drive systems for vehicles

Electric from 18 to 330 l/min, hydraulic up to 11,000 l/min

Overview

Compressed air and vacuum straight from the vehicle's electrical system – no extra engine, no trailer. Our compressors run on 12 and 24 V or on the high-voltage system of electric and rail vehicles. For very high air demand we supply hydraulically driven DYNASET compressors.

On-board compressors 12/24 V – piston and scroll

Professional compressors for vehicles, rail and industrial applications. Depending on the model, they cover everything from inflating tyres to running air tools such as impact wrenches or sandblasters. They can also support the air brake system.

  • Piston compressors oil-free or oil-lubricated, scroll compressors oil-free and particularly smooth-running
  • IP ratings from IP20 to IP54
  • Overtemperature protection as standard
  • ISO 9001 and NATO-approved products
  • Spare parts available for many years

High-voltage compressors 80–800 V DC

For electric buses, electric trucks, hybrid and rail vehicles: the compressors run directly on the high-voltage system and supply brakes, air suspension, doors or pantographs – even when there is no combustion engine or it is switched off.

  • Operating voltages 80 / 200 / 400 / 800 V DC
  • Oil-free scroll and piston units

Applications

Central tyre inflation (CTIS)

Air supply for deflating and re-inflating off-road – oil-free, 12/24 V.

Air brakes

Auxiliary or emergency supply for the brake system, even with the engine off.

Air tools in the field

Impact wrenches, blow-off, tyre inflation – without a compressor trailer.

Rail and electric vehicles

Pantographs, doors, air suspension and brakes from the high-voltage system.

System example: active axle and gearbox pressurisation

When a hot axle enters cold water, it cools down immediately. The air inside contracts and creates a vacuum that draws water and dirt past the seals into the axle or gearbox. That is why vehicle manuals require all axle and gearbox oils to be changed after fording.

Our system keeps axles and gearboxes under a precisely regulated, adjustable air pressure equal to a fording depth of about 1 m. This slight overpressure keeps water and dirt out. The additional load on the seals is negligible.

Kit contents

  • 8 m plastic tube for fixing to the frame
  • 5 m rubber hose to connect front axle, rear axle, transfer case and main gearbox
  • 5 T-pieces for distribution

The system requires intact seals; it compensates for minor leaks.

DYNASET HK, HKR and EKR compressors

For high air demand: the compressors are driven by the vehicle hydraulics or – the EKR – directly by the vehicle battery. They replace the classic compressor trailer – with lower purchase cost, less maintenance and higher reliability, because no additional combustion engine is needed.

Installation example: tank cleaning vehicle project.
