8000 920 002 Connecting Rod & Piston for Compressors

What does a compressor connecting rod do?

This compressor connecting rod and piston assembly is a vital component within the pneumatic brake compressor system. The connecting rod transmits the crankshaft's rotary motion to the piston, while the piston compresses air inside the cylinder to generate necessary pressure for the brake reservoirs. This assembly directly influences the compressor's air output, oil consumption, and operational noise levels.

Compatible vehicles and engines

These heavy-duty grade components are compatible with Volvo engines such as D13B, D13C, and D16E, as well as Renault Trucks models like Kerax and Premium. They are also fitted to Mack Pinnacle and Granite trucks. These parts are designed to maintain high performance in Volvo FH, FM, and VNL series engines, ensuring reliable air pressure delivery for heavy commercial vehicle systems.

Installation and maintenance

For optimal performance, technicians should inspect these components during regular air system maintenance. Proper installation ensures that the piston moves smoothly within the cylinder to prevent internal leaks or excessive vibration. When replacing these parts, ensure they match the specific engine designation of your vehicle to maintain system integrity.

System compatibility

This part is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems and Bendix systems.
