11 42 13 Crankshaft Flange for Mercedes Benz

The 11 42 13 crankshaft flange is a critical component within the air brake compressor system of heavy commercial vehicles. Designed to maintain precise mechanical synchronization, this part ensures the efficient transfer of power within the compressor assembly. It is manufactured using heavy-duty grade materials to withstand the rigorous vibrations and thermal stresses typical of long-haul transport environments.

This component is engineered for seamless integration with MERCEDES BENZ heavy commercial vehicles, including specific models such as the ACTROS MP4 / MP5, ANTOS, and AROCS series. Specifically, 11 42 13 is the OE-equivalent crankshaft flange used in the MERCEDES BENZ ACTROS MP4 / MP5 (including engine types OM471 and OM473), ANTOS, and AROCS systems. It also provides compatibility for various vehicle configurations within the SETRA and MERCEDES BENZ fleet ranges to maintain optimal pneumatic performance.

For workshop technicians, this part serves as a vital replacement during air brake compressor overhauls. It is essential to verify the exact fitment against the vehicle's engine specifications, such as the OM473 or OM471, to ensure precise assembly. Regular inspection of the crankshaft flange and related compressor components during scheduled maintenance can prevent system failures and ensure consistent air pressure delivery for braking systems.
