1697769 Crankshaft Flange Compatible with Volvo B10

What does a crankshaft flange do?

The compressor crankshaft flange acts as the essential connecting element that joins the air brake compressor's crankshaft to the engine drive. It carries the bearing and seal seat on the drive side of the crankshaft, performing vital centering and sealing duties between the housing and the crankshaft. This component ensures that power from the gear, belt-pulley, or coupling is transferred to the crankshaft without misalignment.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific flange is compatible with Volvo B10 models. It is engineered to withstand the intense mechanical stresses found in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, providing stable rotation and preventing air leakage. Proper fitment is crucial to avoid vibrations or premature seal failure.

Installation and maintenance

When replacing this component, technicians should verify that the flange matches the existing unit's pilot diameter and bolt hole configuration. Ensuring a precise fit during installation prevents system leakage and maintains optimal pressure within the air brake system. Consult your authorized distributor for fitment confirmation.
