1697281 Connecting Rod for Volvo F10 TD101

What does a compressor connecting rod do?

The compressor connecting rod acts as the vital link within the air brake compressor, joining the crankshaft to the piston. By converting the crankshaft's rotary motion into the piston's compression stroke, it directly influences the air output capacity of the pneumatic system. This component is manufactured from high-strength materials to withstand heavy-duty cycles.
