1697282 Piston and Ring for Volvo N12 TD122

What does a compressor piston and ring do?

This compressor piston and ring set plays a vital role in the pneumatic compression cycle of the air brake system. By maintaining precise pressure within the cylinder, these components ensure the consistent air supply required for heavy commercial vehicle braking performance. The piston and rings are manufactured from high-strength components to withstand high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific set is compatible with Volvo N12 trucks equipped with TD122 engines. It serves as a direct replacement for original parts, ensuring that the air compressor maintains optimal volumetric efficiency during operation. Consult your authorized distributor to confirm fitment.

Installation and maintenance

When performing an overhaul, it is essential to inspect the cylinder liner for wear. The piston features precise grooves designed to hold compression rings and an oil control ring to prevent oil migration into the air lines. For optimal results, technicians should verify the end gap and groove clearances against the vehicle manufacturer's service manual during installation.

Troubleshooting and selection

Regular inspection of the piston and rings can prevent significant system failures. Ensuring the rings are seated correctly prevents air leakage, which is critical for maintaining stable pneumatic pressure throughout the braking system.
