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.
