1331136 Connecting Rod for DAF 95 XF

What does a compressor connecting rod do?

The compressor connecting rod plays a vital role in the internal reciprocating motion of the air brake compressor. By linking the piston to the crankshaft, it converts linear movement into the necessary pressure required for the vehicle's pneumatic braking system. This component is manufactured using high-strength components to withstand the constant pressure cycles of heavy-duty operations.

Vehicle compatibility and fitment

This part is specifically fitted to DAF 95 XF trucks, including various configurations such as FAC, FTG, FTR, and FTT models. It is also compatible with other variants like FAD, FAT, FAS, and FTS series to ensure precise fitment across the DAF 95 XF range.

Installation and maintenance

For optimal performance, technicians should inspect the connecting rod during routine compressor overhauls. Checking for excessive play or wear in the connection points helps prevent system failures. When renewing components, it is often recommended to inspect the piston and rings simultaneously to maintain system integrity.

System performance and selection

Proper installation ensures that the air brake compressor operates within its intended pressure parameters, maintaining safety for heavy commercial vehicles.
