17 01 12 Renault Trucks Compressor Crankshaft Flange

What does a compressor crankshaft flange do?

The compressor crankshaft flange is a critical component within the air brake compressor assembly that facilitates the secure connection and rotation of the crankshaft. By ensuring stable mechanical movement, this part plays a vital role in the compression process required for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. VADEN ORIGINAL provides high-strength components designed to withstand the intense pressures and continuous cycles of heavy-duty air systems.

Compatible Renault Trucks models

This specific flange is compatible with several Renault Trucks models, including the KERAX, MAGNUM, PREMIUM, PREMIUM 2, and G series. It is suitable for vehicles equipped with DXi or DCI 6 engines. Whether servicing a fleet of tractor units or distribution trucks, this component ensures the structural integrity of the compressor's rotating assembly.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For workshop technicians and fleet managers, replacing a worn flange during a compressor overhaul can prevent further damage to the crankshaft and bearings. When performing maintenance on Renault Trucks compressors, it is important to verify that all mounting surfaces are clean and that the flange is seated correctly to avoid air leaks or excessive vibration. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment.

Troubleshooting and selection

Regular inspection of the crankshaft assembly can help identify early signs of wear before they lead to total system failure.
