Abstract: A compressor for generating compressed air in a vehicle includes at least one piston, a cylinder, a crankshaft, a lubricant connection, a lubricant supply channel, and a clutch device by means of which the crankshaft can be connected to or disconnected from a drive device. The lubricant supply channel opens into at least one lubricant outlet in the interior of the compressor directed toward a piston running surface of the cylinder at least in particular rotational positions of the crankshaft.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compressor (1) for generating compressed air in a vehicle, having at least one piston (6, 7), a cylinder (8, 9), a crankshaft (12), a lubricant connection (14) and a lubricant supply channel (13, 15 16, 20, 21), and having a clutch device (3) by means of which the crankshaft (12) of the compressor (1) can be connected to or disconnected from a drive device, wherein the lubricant supply channel (13, 15 16, 20, 21) opens into at least one lubricant outlet (22, 23) provided in the interior of the compressor (1) and directed toward a piston running surface (19) of the cylinder at least in particular rotational positions of the crankshaft (12).
