3097150 Crankshaft Flange for Volvo FH16 D16C

What does a crankshaft flange do?

The compressor crankshaft flange serves as the critical connecting element between the air brake compressor's crankshaft and the engine drive. It performs the vital functions of centering, sealing, and load transfer between the compressor housing and the crankshaft. By providing a stable seat for bearings and seals on the drive side, this component ensures that the drive mechanism—whether gear, belt-pulley, or coupling—reaches the crankshaft accurately.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific flange is engineered for use in Volvo FH16 trucks equipped with D16C engines. It is designed to withstand the rigorous operating conditions typical of heavy commercial vehicle air systems, ensuring reliable performance during high-pressure cycles. Check the compatibility list to confirm fitment for your specific engine configuration.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional installation, technicians should verify that all dimensions, including pilot diameter and bolt hole patterns, match the existing unit to prevent leakage or excessive vibration. Regular inspection of the flange and seal seats is recommended during routine air system maintenance to ensure continued integrity of the compressor drive assembly.
