13 13 13 Volvo Compatible Compressor Crankshaft Flange

What does a compressor crankshaft flange do?

The compressor crankshaft flange serves as a critical component within the air brake compressor assembly, facilitating the efficient transfer of rotary motion to the internal piston mechanism. Built from high-strength components, this part is essential for maintaining consistent compression strokes and preventing leaks or excessive vibration during heavy-duty operation.

Compatible Volvo vehicles and engines

This specific flange is designed to fit a wide range of Volvo commercial vehicles, including the F12, N12, N10, F10, F7, B10M, and B12 models. It is compatible with various engine configurations such as the TD121, TD122, TD120, TD100, TD101, TD70, TD71, and others. The part is also suitable for use within Knorr-Bremse systems.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing maintenance or repairs on the air brake system, technicians should verify the pilot diameter and bolt hole circle to ensure a precise fit. Proper installation prevents premature wear of the bearing seats and ensures long-term reliability of the compressor assembly. Always confirm that the flange thickness and drive type align with the existing compressor housing requirements.

Selection and fitment advice

Selecting the correct flange based on the compressor type or OE reference is vital to avoid performance degradation. For professional workshop technicians and fleet managers looking to maintain air brake integrity in heavy commercial vehicles, consulting the compatibility list is recommended.
