21353460 VOLVO FH 12/500 Single Cylinder Air Compressor

This single cylinder air compressor is a critical component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring a steady supply of compressed air for braking and auxiliary functions. Designed with high-strength components, it provides reliable operation even under intense thermal loads through its specialized water-cooling architecture.

21353460 is the OE-equivalent VOLVO air compressor used in the VOLVO FH 12/500. This unit is specifically engineered to match the rigorous demands of the FH 12/500 series, maintaining precise volumetric efficiency through its 352cm³ swept volume and optimized port configurations (Air Inlet Ø35, Outlet M26x1,5).

For workshop technicians, this component features a water-cooled valve plate and integrated ESS functionality to ensure stable system pressure. The installation requires attention to the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) to maintain optimal cooling efficiency. Regular inspection of the M12x1,5 air unloader port and the through-drive assembly is recommended during standard heavy-duty maintenance cycles.

Maintaining the integrity of the air supply system is vital for vehicle safety. This part is manufactured to meet stringent industrial standards, ensuring compatibility with existing pneumatic architectures in professional fleet environments.
