3097151 Volvo F16 TD162 Compressor Connecting Rod

What does a connecting rod do?

This compressor connecting rod functions as the essential link within the air brake compressor, connecting the crankshaft to the piston. By converting the rotary motion of the crankshaft into the necessary reciprocating motion, it enables the compression stroke required for reliable pneumatic braking. This component is manufactured using heavy-duty grade materials to withstand constant mechanical stress.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific part is designed for use in Volvo F16 trucks equipped with TD162 engines. It ensures precise movement within the compressor assembly to maintain consistent air output for the vehicle's braking system. This component is also fitted to other heavy commercial vehicles in various fleet applications.

Installation and maintenance

When replacing this rod, technicians should verify the bearing clearances and ensure the lubrication system is functioning correctly to prevent premature wear. Proper installation is critical to maintaining the integrity of the compressor's internal geometry and ensuring long-term service life in heavy-duty environments.

Troubleshooting and selection

Consult your authorized distributor.
