Compact On-Board 12V DC Air Compressor for ARB Air Lockers

The ARB CKSA12 Air Compressor Compact 12V is a high-performance 12V DC compressor designed exclusively for ARB Air Lockers Locking Differentials. It features hard anodized cylinder bores for reduced friction. This compact onboard compressor is designed specifically for Air Locker activation and is sealed for moisture and dust resistance. It comes with a full wiring loom for simplified installation and plug-in connectivity to Air Locker control solenoids.

If you’re in the market for a lightweight, compact on-board air compressor system, then have a look at this unit from ARB. This is ARB’s Compact On-Board Air Compressor Kit, which is simple to use and install. The compressor is designed to activate ARB Air Differential Lockers, and the anodized mounting bracket dissipates motor heat and allows the compressor to be repositioned 180 degrees.

The CKSA12 has a voltage of 12V, a current draw with no load of 5.5A, an air flow of 27.7 l/min at 0 kPa, and an air flow of 0.98 CFM at 0 psi. It is permanently mounted into your truck and includes a full wiring loom with air locker solenoid plug-in contacts, mounting hardware with reinforcing bracket, and an isolating switch. It is constructed of lightweight, high-strength engineering-grade materials and incorporates quality components for quiet operation and extended durability, including Teflon-impregnated carbon fiber piston seals.

The box includes the air compressor, mounting bracket, air filter, pressure switch, on/off switch, and wire harness. The air filter assembly is designed for cleaner, cooler air supply, and versatile waterproof air intake positioning.

At less than half the weight of other compressors, this system is ideal for competition vehicles, rock crawlers, or any other vehicle where a compact design is needed. The compressor features fully sealed components, a pressure switch-controlled air manifold system, and a hard anodized cylinder bore.

The air compressor mounting bracket, part number 3523010, is designed for modern-day vehicles that don’t allow much room for added accessories. It is a reliable, quality bracket system to properly integrate your ARB Compressor into select vehicles.

The compressor has a voltage of 12 volts, a current draw of 5A with no load and 6.5A with load, an air flow of 25.0L/min at 0kPa (0.88CFM @ 0psi) and 13.4L/min at 200kPa (0.47CFM @ 100psi), a total weight of 2.1kg (4.6lbs), and a size of 122mm x 162mm x 188mm (4.8” x 6.4” x 3.5”). The manifold port is 1/4” npt for the pressure switch and 1/8” bspt for the solenoid nipple, and the pressure switch is open at 690kPa (100psi) and closed at 490kPa (70psi).
