7100 922 017 Compressor Crankcase for Volvo and Mack

What does a compressor crankcase do?

This compressor crankcase serves as the critical housing for the internal moving components of an air brake compressor. It provides the necessary structural foundation to maintain precise alignment of the crankshaft and pistons, ensuring consistent compression performance for the vehicle's pneumatic braking system. Built with high-strength components, it is designed to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy commercial vehicle applications.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is specifically compatible with Volvo models including FMX, FH (FH4/FH5), FM, B11R, B13R, FH16, and VNL engines such as D13K, D11K, D16K, and D13. It is also suitable for Mack Anthem with MP8 engines and Renault Trucks K, C, and T series engines like DTI11 and DTI13. These units are also fitted to Volvo TAD1350-1360VE engines.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing a compressor overhaul, technicians should inspect the crankcase for any signs of hairline fractures or surface wear around the bearing seats. Ensuring a clean mounting surface is vital during installation to prevent oil leaks or improper seating of the internal components. For exact torque specifications and clearance tolerances, always refer to the specific engine service manual.

System reliability

Maintaining a high-quality crankcase is essential for preventing air system failures and ensuring reliable braking performance across the fleet.
