26 13 13 Crankshaft Flange for Air Brake Compressors

A compressor crankshaft flange is a critical component within the air brake compressor assembly that facilitates the transfer of mechanical energy to the piston mechanism.

This component is specifically engineered for heavy commercial vehicle air brake systems. It is designed to withstand high-stress operating conditions within the compressor assembly. This flange is compatible with Detroit Diesel 60 Series, DD13, DD15, and DD16 engines, providing a reliable solution for maintaining pneumatic pressure in various heavy-duty applications.

This part is used in several vehicle models, including Freightliner Cascadia, Western Star 49X, and Kenworth T800. It is also fitted to Mercedes-Benz trucks. The flange ensures precise alignment and stability for the crankshaft during the compression cycle, which is vital for consistent braking performance.

When performing maintenance on the air brake system, technicians should inspect the flange for signs of wear or surface degradation. Ensuring a secure fitment during installation helps prevent vibration and premature failure of the compressor assembly. Consult your authorized distributor for further assistance.
