1696200 Compatible Flange for Volvo F12 TD122

What does a crankshaft flange do?

The compressor crankshaft flange acts as a vital connecting element that links the air brake compressor's crankshaft to the engine drive. By carrying the bearing and seal seat on the drive side of the crankshaft, it performs the essential duties of centering, sealing, and load transfer between the compressor housing and the crankshaft. This component ensures that the drive—whether via gear, belt-pulley, or coupling—reaches the crankshaft in a perfectly centered position.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific component is designed for use in Volvo F12 vehicles featuring TD122 engines. It is engineered to withstand the high-pressure environment of air brake systems, providing reliable structural integrity during continuous operation. Maintenance of this part is essential to prevent vibration or leakage within the compressor assembly.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing installation, technicians should verify that the flange matches the specific compressor type number and housing requirements. Proper alignment of the pilot diameter and bolt hole circle is critical to prevent premature wear or system failure. Ensuring a clean seal seat during assembly will maintain optimal pressure within the air brake system.

Troubleshooting and inspection

If you notice unusual vibrations or air leakage near the compressor drive end, inspecting the flange is a recommended troubleshooting step. Maintaining high-strength components is key to preventing unexpected downtime in heavy commercial vehicle fleets. Check the compatibility list.
