8000 750 003 Connecting Rod & Piston for DAF Trucks

What does a compressor connecting rod & piston do?

The compressor connecting rod and piston assembly is a critical component within the pneumatic compression assembly of the air brake compressor. The connecting rod transmits the crankshaft's rotary motion to the piston, which in turn compresses air inside the cylinder to generate the pressure required for the brake reservoirs. This group directly determines the compressor's air output, oil consumption, and running noise levels.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This heavy-duty component group is compatible with DAF models including XF 95, CF 85, 85 CF, 75CF, and F95, as well as Bova Futura, Magiq, and Synergy series. It is also fitted to Ginaf X-Series vehicles and Renault Trucks PREMIUM models with DCI 6 engines. These parts are designed to work effectively within WABCO systems.

Maintenance and installation guidance

For optimal performance, technicians should inspect the piston rings and connecting rod bushings during routine maintenance. When performing an overhaul, renewing the piston and rings together is often the preferred approach to ensure long-term sealing integrity. Proper installation ensures vibration-free operation and prevents air leaks within the pneumatic circuit.

Troubleshooting and selection

Maintaining these components helps prevent common issues like excessive oil consumption or loss of air pressure. Always verify fitment against specific vehicle engine details to ensure correct compatibility. Consult your authorized distributor.
