22306613 Connecting Rod & Piston for Volvo NH12

What does a compressor connecting rod and piston do?

This compressor connecting rod and piston assembly is a critical component within the pneumatic compression assembly of the air brake compressor. It functions by transmitting the crankshaft's rotary motion to the piston, which then compresses air inside the cylinder to generate the necessary pressure for the brake reservoirs.

Compatible Volvo NH12 models

This specific assembly is designed for fitment in Volvo NH12 trucks, covering various configurations such as the NH 12/460, NH 12/340, NH 12/420, and NH 12/380. These components are vital for maintaining consistent air output and minimizing oil consumption during heavy-duty operation.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For workshop technicians performing an overhaul, it is highly recommended to renew the piston and rings together to ensure optimal seal integrity. When replacing these parts, ensure that all bearing clearances are checked and that the new components match the existing compressor geometry to prevent running noise or pressure drops.

System reliability and performance

Proper maintenance of these internal components directly affects the overall reliability of the vehicle's braking system. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact compatibility with your specific engine configuration.
