1331136 Connecting Rod for DAF CF 85

What does a compressor connecting rod do?

The compressor connecting rod acts as the vital link within an air brake compressor, joining the crankshaft to the piston to convert rotary motion into the necessary compression stroke. This component is essential for maintaining consistent air output and system pressure in heavy commercial vehicle pneumatic systems.
