1697707 Volvo N12 TD120 Compressor Piston

What does a compressor piston do?

This compressor piston plays a critical role in the pneumatic air brake system by facilitating the compression of air required for braking operations. Manufactured with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy commercial vehicle applications.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific component is designed for use in Volvo N12 trucks equipped with the TD120 engine. It is also compatible with other heavy commercial vehicle brands such as Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Scania, DAF, and Iveco. For precise fitment, always verify dimensions against the compressor housing or the vehicle manufacturer's service manual.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance or repairs on the air compressor, technicians should verify the cylinder liner diameter and pin diameter to ensure a perfect seal. This piston is intended for standard size applications; if the liner has been machined, an oversize variant may be required. Proper installation ensures optimal air pressure delivery to the braking system.
