20382347 S3 Crankshaft Flange for Volvo FM12 Trucks

What does a compressor crankshaft flange do?

This compressor crankshaft flange serves as a critical component within the air brake compressor assembly, facilitating the transmission of mechanical energy to drive the compression cycle. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the intense rotational stresses and pressure fluctuations typical in heavy commercial vehicle applications.

Compatible Volvo FM12 vehicle models

This specific component is designed for Volvo FM12 trucks, including models such as the FM 12/380, FM 12/460, FM 12H/340, and FM 12H/380. It also fits the FM 12/420, FM 12/340, and FM 12H/420 series. Using a flange that matches the specific compressor type ensures optimal performance and prevents premature wear.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing maintenance or repair, technicians should verify the pilot diameter, bolt hole circle, and seal seat size against the existing part. Proper installation is vital to prevent air leakage or excessive vibration during operation. Check the compatibility list to ensure an exact match for your specific compressor model.

Troubleshooting and selection

Selecting the correct flange based on the compressor type or OE reference is essential for maintaining system integrity. A mismatched flange can lead to rapid component failure or oil leakage within the air brake system.
