22306613 Compatible Connecting Rod & Piston for Volvo FH16

What does a connecting rod and piston do?

This compressor connecting rod and piston assembly is a critical component within the air brake compressor's compression assembly. The connecting rod transmits the crankshaft's rotary motion to the piston, while the piston compresses air inside the cylinder to generate the necessary pressure for the pneumatic braking system. These parts are manufactured from high-strength components to withstand intense pressure cycles.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific kit is designed to fit Volvo FH16 models featuring D16E engines. It serves as a reliable replacement for original components in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, ensuring stable air output and minimized oil consumption during operation.

Installation and maintenance

During maintenance or overhaul, it is highly recommended to inspect the cylinder walls and ensure the piston rings are in optimal condition. Proper installation of the connecting rod ensures correct crankshaft alignment and prevents excessive running noise or vibration within the compressor unit.

Troubleshooting and selection

Regular monitoring of compressor air output can help identify when these internal components require attention to prevent system-wide pneumatic failures.

OE cross-reference

8000 850 005 (Compressor Connecting Rod & Piston) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 22306613.
