1697769 Compatible Crankshaft Flange — Volvo

What does a crankshaft flange do?

This compressor crankshaft flange is a critical component within the air brake compressor system, ensuring the stable rotation and structural integrity of the crankshaft assembly. It is manufactured using high-strength components to withstand the continuous mechanical stresses inherent in heavy commercial vehicle air systems.

Compatible Volvo models

The part is specifically designed for Volvo FL6 models, including various variants such as the FL 610 and FL 618, and is also compatible with Volvo FL series trucks like the FL 220 and FL 250. This ensures precise alignment and prevents vibration during high-pressure operation within the pneumatic system.

Installation and maintenance

For workshop technicians, it is essential to verify the flange dimensions, including the pilot diameter and bolt hole configuration, before installation. Ensuring a perfect seal at the bearing seat prevents air leakage and premature wear of the compressor assembly. Consult your authorized distributor for precise fitment confirmation.

Troubleshooting and selection

Maintaining the crankshaft flange is vital to prevent system vibrations or oil leaks. Regular inspection of the mounting surfaces can help prevent secondary damage to the compressor housing or drive gears.
