22306613 Volvo N12 TD120 Connecting Rod & Piston

What does a compressor 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 pressure required for the brake reservoirs. High-strength components in this group directly influence the compressor's air output, oil consumption, and overall running noise.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific kit is designed for use in Volvo N12 vehicles equipped with TD120 engines. It serves as a reliable replacement to maintain optimal pneumatic performance in heavy commercial vehicle applications.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For workshop technicians performing an overhaul, it is highly recommended to inspect the piston rings and pin alongside the rod during installation. Ensuring proper lubrication and correct seating of the piston assembly is vital to prevent premature wear and maintain consistent air production levels within the pneumatic system.
