8000 880 002 Connecting Rod & Piston for Volvo Trucks

What does a compressor connecting rod do?

The compressor connecting rod and piston assembly is a fundamental component within the pneumatic brake compressor system. This group is responsible for transmitting rotary motion from the crankshaft to the piston, which then compresses air to generate the pressure required for the vehicle's braking reservoirs. Maintaining these components is vital for ensuring consistent air output and preventing excessive oil consumption.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific assembly is engineered for various Volvo models, including the FH12, NL12, FL12, and B10 series, as well as construction machinery like the L330C/D/E. It is compatible with D12A, D16, and TD122 engines. These components are also fitted to Scania trucks and are compatible with Knorr-Bremse and Perkins systems.

Maintenance and installation guidance

For optimal performance, technicians should inspect the connecting rod and piston during regular compressor overhauls. Replacing these parts together helps maintain proper cylinder pressure and reduces running noise. When performing maintenance, always verify that the new components match the existing engine specifications to ensure seamless integration into the air brake system.
