1696200 Crankshaft Flange for Volvo F12 TD120

What does a compressor crankshaft flange do?

The compressor crankshaft flange serves as the vital connecting element between the air brake compressor's crankshaft and the engine drive. It carries the bearing and seal seat on the drive side of the crankshaft, performing essential centering, sealing, and load transfer duties between the housing and the crankshaft. This component ensures that the drive—whether via gear, pulley, or coupling—is perfectly aligned with the crankshaft to prevent leakage or vibration.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific part is engineered for Volvo F12 trucks utilizing TD120 engines. It is a high-strength component designed to withstand the rigorous operating conditions found in heavy commercial vehicle air systems. By maintaining exact alignment, it protects the internal compressor components from premature wear caused by misalignment.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance or repair, technicians should verify that the flange matches the compressor type and housing casting numbers. Proper installation is critical to prevent oil leakage or excessive vibration within the air brake system. Ensure all mounting surfaces are clean before securing the component to the crankshaft.

Troubleshooting and selection

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure perfect fitment for your specific engine configuration.
