7500 920 005 Crankshaft Flange for Air Brake Compressors

What does a compressor crankshaft flange do?

The compressor crankshaft flange is a critical component within the air brake compressor assembly, responsible for transferring rotary motion and maintaining the structural alignment of the crankshaft assembly. Built from high-strength components, this part is essential for ensuring the efficient operation of the pneumatic compression cycle in heavy commercial vehicles.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is compatible with various heavy-duty engines, including Caterpillar C7, C9, C11, C13, and C15. It is widely used in vehicles such as Freightliner (Columbia, Cascadia, Coronado, Century Class), Kenworth (T800, W900, T600), Peterbilt (379, 387, 388, 389), and International models like the 9400I and Paystar. It is also fitted to Sterling and Western Star trucks.

Installation and maintenance

For professional technicians performing a compressor overhaul, ensuring a precise fit for the flange is vital to prevent air leaks or mechanical vibrations. When replacing this part as part of a repair kit, verify that all connecting rod bearings and seals are in optimal condition to maintain system pressure.

System reliability

Regular inspection of the crankshaft assembly helps prevent premature failure of the air brake system. For reliable performance in demanding transport environments, always consult your authorized distributor.
