BENDIX® 360CC SINGLE CYLINDER COMPRESSOR FOR
INTERNATIONAL MAXXFORCE
DESCRIPTION
The function of the air compressor is to provide and
maintain air under pressure to operate devices in air brake
systems. The Bendix
cylinder compressor with a rated displacement of 15.8 cubic
feet per minute at 1250 RPM. The compressor consists
of an integral water-cooled cylinder head assembly and
water-cooled crankcase.
The cylinder head assembly is made up of an aluminum
cylinder head, an aluminum cooling plate, and a steel valve
plate assembly with two sealing gaskets. The cylinder head
contains air and water ports. The cooling plate, situated
between the head and valve plate, assists in cooling the
head assembly. The valve plate assembly, consisting of
brazed steel plates, has separate valve openings and
passages to allow air and coolant to fl ow in and out of the
compressor. See Figure 1 for an external view , and Figure
3 for an exploded view
The compressor is equipped with a safety valve in the
cylinder head safety valve port, directly connected to the
discharge port. The safety valve protects the compressor
head in the event of excessively high discharge line
pressure, for example, in the event of blockage downstream
of the compressor. Excessive air pressure causes the
safety valve to unseat, releases air pressure and gives an
audible alert to the operator.
The compressor is cooled by air fl ow, as well as by engine
coolant. The engine coolant fi rst enters the crankcase
water jacket to cool the cylinder bore, then passes through
passages in the valve plate assembly, cooling plate, and
cylinder head and then out of a port at the top of the
compressor, back to the engine.
A nameplate is attached to a fl at cast face on the side of
the crankcase. It is stamped with information identifying
the compressor designation, customer piece number,
compressor assembly part number and serial number.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This Bendix® 360cc compressor is a “discharge line
unloader” (DLU)-style compressor, meaning that the
compressor pumps continuously , unlike some compressor
designs which use an "unloader" mechanism in the
compressor head to switch from a pumping mode to a
non-pumping mode. Instead, the control of air delivery to
the vehicle’s air system is managed by using a separate
discharge line unloader valve mounted in parallel with a
turbo cut-off style of air dryer (see Figure 6).

functions continuously while the engine is in operation.
Actual compression of air is controlled by a downstream
component, such as a discharge line unloader valve or an
air dryer without turbo cut-off valve, operating in conjunction
with a governor.
AIR INTAKE (LOADED)
Just as the piston begins the down stroke, (a position
known as top dead center, or TDC), the vacuum created
in the cylinder bore above the piston causes the inlet reed
valve to fl ex open. Atmospheric air fl ows through the open
inlet valve and fi lls the cylinder bore above the piston. See
Figure 4

.
FIGURE 4 - OPERATION - INTAKE
AIR COMPRESSION (LOADED)
When the piston reaches the bottom of the stroke, (a
position known as bottom dead center, or BDC), the inlet
reed valve closes. Air above the piston is trapped by the
closed inlet reed valve and is compressed as the piston
moves upwards. When air in the cylinder bore reaches
a pressure greater than that of the system pressure, the
discharge reed valves open and allow air to fl ow into the
discharge line and air brake system. See Figure 5.

Note: The Bendix
®
360cc compressor is a discharge line
unloader-style unit. This means that the compressor
functions in a continuous pumping mode regardless
whether the brake system requires air. It requires a
downstream device (e.g. turbo cut-off style air dryer and
discharge line unloader valve) to unload the system when
the air system has suffi cient stored compressed air.

FIGURE 5 - OPERATION - COMPRESSION
NON-COMPRESSION OF AIR (UNLOADED)
COMPRESSOR AND AIR DRYER SYSTEM
(REFER TO FIGURE 6)
Air delivery to the vehicle’s air system is controlled by the
governor and the air dryer, or with a separate discharge line
unloader valve. The governor is plumbed to the component
(e.g. air dryer or DLU valve) in order to control when the
air is delivered to the vehicle’s air system.
When air pressure in the supply reservoir reaches the
cutout setting of the governor, the governor delivers
system air to the discharge line unloader-style (DLU) air
dryer’s control port. This allows the discharge air from the
compressor to fl ow out the exhaust port of the air dryer.
LUBRICATION
The vehicle’s engine provides a continuous supply of oil
to the compressor. Oil is routed from the engine to the
compressor’s oil inlet. Note: There is no external oil supply
line; the oil delivery is located at the engine to compressor
mounting face. This pressurized oil fl ows to the precision
front sleeve main bearing, and via an oil passage in the
crankshaft routes pressurized oil to the connecting rod
bearings and the rear journal associated with the end cover.
Spray lubrication of the cylinder bore and connecting rod
wrist pin bushing is obtained as oil is forced out around the
crankshaft journals by engine oil pressure. Oil then falls to
the bottom of the compressor crankcase and is returned
to the engine through the opening at the compressor
mounting fl ange.
COOLING
The Bendix® 360cc Single Cylinder Compressor is cooled
by air fl owing through the engine compartment as it passes
the compressor’s cast-in cooling fi ns and by the fl ow of
engine coolant through the cylinder head assembly and
the water jacket around the cylinder bore of the crankcase.
Coolant supplied by the engine cooling system passes
through connecting lines into the cylinder head, cooling
plate, valve plate assembly, into the crankcase water
jacket and returns through the same components, out of
the coolant outlet port of the cylinder head and returns to
the engine. Figure 7 illustrates the approved coolant fl ow
connections. Proper cooling is important in minimizing
discharge air temperatures – see the tabulated technical
data on page 11 of this manual for specifi c requirements.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Regularly scheduled maintenance is the single most
important factor in maintaining the air brake charging
system. Refer to Table A: Maintenance Schedule and
Usage Guidelines in the troubleshooting section (page
A-3) for a guide to various considerations that must be
given to maintenance of the compressor and other related
charging system components.
®
Important Note: Review the Bendix
before performing any intrusive maintenance procedures.
An extended warranty may be voided if intrusive
maintenance is performed during this period.
Warranty Policy
A supply of clean air is one of the single most important
factors in compressor preventive maintenance. Since the
®
air supply for Bendix
360cc Single Cylinder Compressor
and engine is the engine air cleaner, periodic maintenance
of the engine air fi lter is necessary.
Inspect the compressor air induction system each time
engine air cleaner maintenance is performed.
1. Inspect the intake hose adapters for physical damage.
Make certain to check the adapters at both ends of the
intake hose or tubing.
2. Inspect the intake hose clamps and tighten them if
needed.
3. Inspect the intake hose or line for signs of drying, cracking,
chafi ng and ruptures and replace if necessary.
4. Inspect the compressor’s cast inlet tube for physical
damage.
COMPRESSOR COOLING
Inspect the compressor discharge port, inlet cavity and
discharge line for evidence of restrictions and carbon
buildup. If more than 1/16" of carbon is found, thoroughly
clean or replace the affected parts. In some cases, carbon
buildup indicates inadequate cooling. Closely inspect the
compressor cooling system. Check all compressor coolant
lines for kinks and restrictions to fl ow. Minimum coolant line
size is 3/8" I.D. Check coolant lines for internal clogging
from rust scale. If coolant lines appear suspicious, check
the coolant fl ow and compare to the tabulated technical
data present in the back of this manual.
LUBRICATION
The compressor utilizes an internal oil feed design. Check
the exterior of the compressor (i.e. around the mounting
face) for the presence of oil seepage and refer to the
troubleshooting section for appropriate tests and corrective
action. Refer to the tabulated technical data in the back of
this manual for oil pressure minimum values.
OIL PASSING
All reciprocating compressors pass a minimal amount of
oil. Air dyers will remove the majority of oil before it can
enter the air brake system. For particularly oil sensitive
systems, the Bendix
conjunction with a Bendix
®
PuraGuard® system can be used in
®
air dryer.
If compressor oil passing is suspected, refer to the Troubleshooting section (starting on page A-1) for the
4
symptoms and corrective action to be taken. In addition,
Bendix has developed the “Bendix Air System Inspection
Cup” or BASIC kit to help substantiate suspected excessive
oil passing. The steps to be followed when using the BASIC
kit are presented in APPENDIX B, on page A-16.
COMPRESSOR DRIVE
Check for noisy compressor operation, which could indicate
excessive drive component wear. Adjust and/or replace
as necessary. Check all compressor mounting bolts and
retighten evenly if necessary . Check for leakage. Repair
or replace parts as necessary.
CHARGING SYSTEM UNLOADING &
GOVERNOR
Note: The Bendix® 360cc (DLU)-style single cylinder
compressor does not contain components to unload
the compressor. Therefore, the compressor pumps
continuously. In most systems supplied by International,
a turbo cut-off style air dryer , governor and discharge line
unloader valve are used to unload the system (i.e. air is
not being delivered to the brake system reservoirs). When
system unloading occurs, air from the compressor will fl ow
out the exhaust port of the discharge line unloader valve.
Refer to Figure 6.
Test and inspect the unloading system (i.e. air dryer and
governor) for proper operation and pressure settings.
1. Make certain the unloader system lines (illustrated in
Figure 6) are connected and leak free.
2. Cycle the charging system between the loaded and
unloaded mode several times. This can be achieved by
applying the brakes to bleed down the system pressure.
Make certain that the governor cuts-in (charging
system resumes compressing air) at a minimum of
105 psi. Governor cut-out (charging system stops
delivering air to the brake system reservoirs) should be
approximately 15 - 20 psi greater than cut-in pressure.
Adjust or replace the governor as required.
3. Note that the charging system cycles to the loaded and
unloaded conditions promptly. If prompt action is not
noted, repair or replace: the governor; the discharge
line unloader valve; and/or the air dryer purge valve
assembly.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Replacement air governors must have a minimum
cut-in pressure of 100 psi. The cut-in pressure is the
lowest system pressure registered in the gauges before
the compressor resumes compressing air.
SERVICE TESTS
GENERAL
The compressor operating and leakage tests listed below
need not be performed on a regular basis. These tests
should be performed when it is suspected that leakage is
substantially affecting compressor buildup performance, or
when it is suspected that the charging system is “cycling”
between the loaded (pumping) and unloaded (charging
system stops delivering air to the brake system reservoirs)
modes due to unloader system leakage.
IN-SERVICE OPERATING TESTS
Compressor Performance: Build-up Test
This test is performed with the vehicle parked and the
engine operating at maximum recommended governed
speed. Fully charge the air system to governor cut-out (air
dryer purges). Pump the service brake pedal to lower the
system air pressure below 80 psi using the dash gauges.
As the air pressure builds back up, measure the time
from when the dash gauge passes 85 psi to the time it
passes 100 psi. The time should not exceed 40 seconds.
If the vehicle exceeds 40 seconds, test for (and fi x) any
air leaks and then re- test the compressor performance.
If the vehicle does not pass the test the second time,
use the Advanced Troubleshooting Guide for Air Brake
Compressors, starting on page A-1 of this document to
assist your investigation of the cause(s).
Note: All new vehicles are certifi ed using the FMVSS
121 test (paragraph S5.1.1) by the vehicle manufacturer,
however the above test is a useful guide for in-service
vehicles.
Optional Comparative Performance Check
It may be useful to also conduct the above test with the
engine running at high idle (instead of maximum governed
speed), and record the time taken to raise the system
pressure to a selected range (for example, from 90 to
120 psi, or from 100 to 120 psi, etc.) and record it in the
vehicle’s maintenance fi les. Subsequent build-up times
throughout the vehicle’s service life can then be compared
to the fi rst one recorded. (Note: the 40 second guide in
the test above does not apply to this build-up time.) If the
performance degrades signifi cantly over time, you may
use the Advanced Troubleshooting Guide for Air Brake
Compressors, starting on page A-1 of this document, to
assist in the investigation of the cause(s).
Note: When comparing build-up times, be sure to make
an allowance for any air system modifi cations which would
cause longer times, such as adding air components or
reservoirs. Always check for air system leakage.

LEAKAGE TESTS
COMPRESSOR REMOVAL & DISASSEMBLY
See the standard Air Brake System and Accessory Leakage
test on Page A-15 (Test 2).
Note: Leakage in the air supply system (components
before the supply reservoir - such as the governor, air dryer ,
reservoir drain cocks, safety valve, and check valves) will
not be registered on the vehicle dash gauges and must
be tested separately. Refer to the various maintenance
manuals for individual component leakage tests and the
®
Bendix “Test and Checklist” published in the Bendix
Air
Brake System Handbook (BW5057) and on the back of
®
the Bendix
Dual Circuit Brake System Troubleshooting
Card (BW1396).
CYLINDER HEAD
Check the cylinder head gaskets for air leakage.
1. With the engine running, lower air system pressure to
60 psi and apply a soap solution around the cylinder
head. Check the two gaskets between the cylinder
head and the valve plate assembly , as well as the inlet
reed valve/gasket between the valve plate assembly
and crankcase for air leakage.
2. No leakage is permitted. If leakage is detected, replace
the compressor or repair the cylinder head using the
maintenance kit available from an authorized Bendix
parts outlet.
INLET & DISCHARGE VALVES
In order to test the inlet and discharge valves, it is necessary
to have shop air pressure and an assortment of fi ttings. A
soap solution is also required.
1. With the engine shut off, drain ALL air pressure from
the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the inlet and discharge lines.
3. Apply 120-130 psi shop air pressure to the discharge
port and then apply and release air pressure to the inlet
port. Soap the inlet port and note that leakage at the
inlet port does not exceed 200 sccm.
If excessive leakage is noted in Test 3, replace or repair
the compressor using genuine Bendix replacements or
maintenance kits available from any authorized Bendix
parts outlet.
While it is possible to test for inlet and discharge leakage,
it may not be practical to do so. Inlet and discharge valve
leakage can generally be detected by longer compressor
build-up and recovery times. Compare current compressor
build-up times with the last several recorded times. Make
certain to test for air system leakage, as described under
“In-Service Operating T ests”, before making a determination
that performance has been lost.
GENERAL
The following disassembly and assembly procedure is
presented for reference purposes and pre-supposes that
a rebuild or repair of the compressor is being undertaken.
Several maintenance kits are available and the instructions
provided with these parts and kits should be followed in
lieu of the instructions presented here.

should be replaced rather than repaired. Do not attempt
repairs requiring machining or welding unless specifi cally
stated and approved by the vehicle and component
manufacturer.
10. Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all
components and systems are restored to their proper
operating condition.
11. For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control (ATC), the
A TC function must be disabled (A TC indicator lamp should
be ON) prior to performing any vehicle maintenance where
one or more wheels on a drive axle are lifted off the ground
and moving.
REMOVAL
In many instances it may not be necessary to remove the
compressor from the vehicle when installing the various
maintenance kits and service parts. The maintenance
technician must assess the installation and determine the
correct course of action. These instructions are general
and are intended to be a guide. In some cases additional
preparations and precautions are necessary. In all cases
follow the instructions contained in the vehicle maintenance
manual in lieu of the instructions, precautions and procedures
presented in this manual.
1. Block the wheels of the vehicle and drain the air pressure
from all the reservoirs in the system.
2. Drain the engine cooling system and the cylinder head
of the compressor. Identify and disconnect all air, water
and oil lines leading to the compressor.
3. Remove as much road dirt and grease from the exterior
of the compressor as possible.
4. Remove the discharge fi tting, if applicable, and note their
position on the compressor to aid in reassembly.
5. Remove any supporting bracketing attached to the
compressor and note their positions on the compressor
to aid in reassembly.
6. Remove the 6 mounting bolts that retain the
compressor to the side of the engine block. Note
the position of the 6 mounting bolts. Two of the 6
bolts are shorter and must be installed in their original
locations. Remove the compressor from the vehicle.
7. Inspect drive gear and associated drive parts for
visible wear or damage. If the compressor drive
gear is worn or damaged, the compressor must be
replaced. Refer to the Engine Manufacturers service
manual to address the associated engine drive parts.
8. If the compressor is being replaced stop here and
proceed to “Installing the Compressor” at the end
of the assembly procedure. (Note: Replacement
compressors come with the drive gear preassembled on the compressor.)
PREPARATION FOR DISASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 8 during the entire disassembly and
assembly procedure.
Place a clean rag over the openings that expose the
gear and crankshaft / connecting rod assembly. No
contamination is permitted in these areas.
Remove the balance of the road dirt and grease from the
exterior of the compressor with a cleaning solvent. If the
rear end cover (8) is being removed from the compressor
under repair, mark it along with the two cap screws (7)
in relation to the crankcase. It is also recommended to
mark the relationship of the cylinder head (15), cooling
plate (14), valve plate assembly (13), and crankcase.
A convenient method to indicate the above relationships
is to use a metal scribe to mark the parts with numbers
or lines. Do not use marking methods, such as chalk,
that can be wiped off or obliterated during rebuilding.
Prior to disassembly , make certain that the appropriate
kits are available.

INSPECTION OF PARTS
CYLINDER HEAD, COOLING PLATE AND VALVE
PLA TE ASSEMBLY
1. Carefully inspect the head gasket surfaces on the
cylinder head (15) for deep gouges and nicks. Also,
inspect the cylinder head for any cracks or port thread
damage. If detected, the compressor must be replaced.
If large amounts of carbon build-up are present in the
discharge cavity such that it restricts the air fl ow through
the cylinder head, the compressor should be replaced.
2. Carefully inspect both sides of the head gasket surfaces
on the cooling plate (14) for deep gouges and nicks.
Also, inspect the cooling plate for any cracks or other
damage. If damage is found, the compressor must be
replaced.
3. Carefully inspect the valve plate assembly (13) gasket
surfaces (both sides) for deep gouges and nicks. Pay
particular attention to the gasket surface. An inlet
reed valve/gasket (5) is used between the valve plate
assembly (13) and crankcase. These gasket surfaces
must be smooth and free of all but the most minor
scratches. If excessive marring or gouging is detected,
9
the compressor must be replaced. If large amounts of
carbon build-up are present on the two main surfaces, in
the two discharge valve holes or between the discharge
valve and the discharge seat, the compressor should
be replaced.
REAR END COVER
Visually inspect for cracks and external damage. Check
the crankshaft rear bearing diameter in the rear end cover
(8) for excessive wear, fl at spots or galling. Check the
hydraulic pump attachment pilot and threaded holes for
damage. Minor thread chasing is permitted, but do not
re-cut the threads. If any of these conditions are found,
replace the compressor.
CRANKCASE
Check the cylinder head gasket surface on the deck (top) of
the crankcase (1 1) for nicks, gouges, and marring. A metal
gasket is used to seal the cylinder head to the crankcase.
This surface must be smooth and free of all but the most
minor scratching. If excessive marring or gouging is
detected, the compressor must be replaced.
Check the condition of the countersunk hole on the deck
of the crankcase (11) that retains the o-ring and prevents
coolant leakage between the valve plate assembly and the
crankcase. The surface in contact with the o-ring should
be smooth and free of any scratches and gouges that could
causes leakage around the o-ring.
ASSEMBLY
General Note: All torques specifi ed in this manual are
assembly torques and typically can be expected to fall off
after assembly is accomplished. Do not re-torque after
initial assembly torques fall unless instructed otherwise.

making certain not to damage the crankshaft bearing
surface.
3. Install the two end cover cap screws (7). Refer to Figure
9 to ensure that the two cap screws (7) are installed
in the proper crankcase (11) bolt holes. “Snug” the
screws, then tighten to between 195 to 212 inch pounds
(22-24 Nm).
1. Install the crankcase o-ring (12) into the slightly
countersunk hole on the deck of the crankcase.
2. Note the position of the protruding crankcase (11)
alignment pins on the deck (top) of the crankcase.
Install the metal inlet reed valve/gasket (5) over the
alignment pins on the crankcase; being careful not to
disturb the crankcase o-ring (12).
3. Position the valve plate assembly (13) on the crankcase
(1 1) so that the alignment pins in the crankcase fi t into
the corresponding holes in the valve plate assembly
(13).
4. Position one of the embossed metal head gaskets
(4) over the alignment bushings protruding from the
cooling plate (14). Position the second embossed
metal head gasket over the alignment bushings on the
opposite side of the cooling plate (14). When properly
positioned, the outline of the two embossed gaskets
match the outline of the cooling plate.
5. Install the cooling plate with the head gaskets onto the
valve plate assembly . Align the alignment bushings on
the cooling plate over the oversized countersunk holes
of the valve plate assembly. Again, when properly
installed, the outline of the cooling plate matches the
outline of the valve plate assembly.
6. Position and install the cylinder head (15) over the
alignment bushings protruding from the cooling plate.
When properly installed, the outline of the cylinder head
assembly will match the outline of the cooling plate and
valve plate assembly.
Note: To assist with correct installation, the alignment
bushings only fi t into two, of the four, cylinder head cap
screws.
7. "Snug" the four hex head cylinder head cap screws
(1) and snug them, then tighten evenly to a torque of
265 to 292 inch pounds (30-33 Nm) using a crossing
pattern. Note: A light fi lm of oil should be applied
to the thread of these bolts prior to installation. Oil
should not be applied to any other bolts.
8. Install the washer (3) and safety valve (2) in the top
port (discharge port) of the cylinder head (15), then
tighten to a torque of 59 to 66 foot pounds (80-90 Nm).
This port can be identifi ed by the number 2 cast into
the cylinder head.
INSTALLING THE COMPRESSOR
1. Apply a liquid gasket sealant to the compressor / engine
mounting interface (Refer to Figure 3 for compressor mounting face). Follow the “Engine or Vehicle
Manufacturers guidelines for the proper liquid gasket
sealant material and application procedure.
2. Secure the compressor on the engine mounting
interface using the 6 mounting bolts. NOTE: There
are 2 short bolts and 4 long bolts. Be sure the use the
proper length bolt for the crankcase bolt holes. Run
each of the bolts down fi nger tight, making sure not to
smear the liquid gasket material on the sealing surface.
Once the bolts are all fi nger tight; tighten the mounting
bolts per Engine Manufacturers recommended torquing
sequence and torque requirements.
3. Install any supporting brackets on the compressor in
the same position(s) noted and marked during removal.
4. Inspect all air and coolant lines and fi ttings before
reconnecting them to the compressor. Make certain
o-ring seals are in good or new condition, the threads
are clean and the fi ttings are free of corrosion. Replace
as necessary.
5. Install the discharge and coolant fi ttings, if applicable, in
the same position on the compressor noted and marked
during disassembly . See the Torque Specifi cations for
various fi tting sizes and types of thread at the rear of
this manual. Tighten all hose clamps.
6. Before returning the vehicle to service, perform
the Operation and Leakage Tests specifi ed in this
manual. Pay particular attention to all lines and hoses
disconnected during the maintenance and check for
air, oil, and coolant leaks at compressor connections
and the compressor engine interface. Also check for
noisy operation.
