8000 850 002 Connecting Rod & Piston for Compressors

What does a compressor connecting rod and piston do?

This compressor connecting rod and piston group is a vital component of the pneumatic compression assembly, working to transform crankshaft motion into high-pressure air. The piston and connecting rod work in tandem to ensure efficient air output and stable pressure delivery to the brake reservoirs. These high-strength components are engineered to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses found in heavy commercial vehicle air systems.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This assembly is specifically designed for use in Renault Trucks models such as Premium, Kerax, and Magnum, as well as Volvo series including FH13, FH16, FM11, FM13, VHD, VNL, and B11R/B13R. It is also fitted to Mack Granite and Pinnacle trucks with MP7 or MP8 engines. Furthermore, it is compatible with DAF and Mercedes-Benz vehicles through various engine configurations like Volvo D13 and D11 series.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For optimal performance, technicians should inspect the connecting rod and piston during routine compressor overhauls. Maintaining these components helps prevent excessive oil consumption or unusual running noise in the pneumatic system. When replacing these parts, ensure all mounting points are checked for wear to maintain system integrity.

Troubleshooting and selection

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure precise fitment for your specific engine configuration.
