21353460 VOLVO FM 12/340 Single Cylinder, Air Compressor

The single cylinder air compressor serves as a vital component in the pneumatic braking and auxiliary systems of heavy commercial vehicles. This specific model is designed to provide consistent air pressure through a robust single-cylinder architecture, ensuring the reliability of the vehicle's pneumatic circuit during high-load operations. Its water-cooled design facilitates efficient thermal management, maintaining optimal performance even under extreme operating temperatures.

21353460 is the OE-equivalent of the VOLVO 21353460 single cylinder air compressor used in the VOLVO FM 12/340. This part is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the FM 12/340 series, ensuring seamless integration with existing vehicle architectures. The technical specifications include a Ø85.00 cylinder bore and a 62 mm stroke to maintain high-pressure output stability.

For workshop technicians and fleet managers, this unit offers high-strength components and precise assembly compatibility. The installation involves connecting the M16x1,5 water inlet and outlet ports for cooling, alongside the M26x1,5 air outlet port. Regular inspection of the water cooling system and the air unloader port (M12x1,5) is recommended to ensure long-term serviceability and prevent system pressure drops.

Maintenance of this compressor is essential for maintaining the integrity of the air brake system. The through-drive design and ESS feature compatibility ensure that this part functions correctly within the complex mechanical systems of heavy trucks and buses.
