85000117 VOLVO FM 12/460 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The technical function of this twin cylinder air compressor is to provide a steady and reliable supply of compressed air to the vehicle's pneumatic braking and suspension systems. Designed with high-strength components, this unit ensures consistent pressure delivery even under heavy-duty operating conditions. Its water-cooled design helps maintain optimal thermal stability during continuous operation, making it an essential part for maintaining vehicle safety and uptime.

85000117 is the OE equivalent of the VOLVO 85000117 air compressor used in the VOLVO FM 12/460. This high-performance part is engineered to meet strict industrial standards, ensuring full compatibility with the original equipment specifications. By utilizing precise engineering, the component maintains the integrity of the air brake system in heavy commercial vehicles, providing a seamless fit for workshop technicians and fleet managers alike.

Installation of this compressor requires attention to the water-cooling connections, specifically the M16x1,5 inlet and outlet ports. The unit features a through-drive design and an ESS feature to optimize airflow and pressure regulation. Workshop technicians should ensure that all ports, including the Ø35 air inlet and M26x1,5 outlet, are properly sealed to prevent leaks. Regular maintenance of the cooling lines is recommended to ensure the longevity of the valve plate and internal cylinders.

Proper selection of this component ensures that the pneumatic system operates within specified tolerances. The integration of a water-cooled valve plate provides additional thermal protection, reducing the risk of overheating during long-haul transport operations. This part is engineered for durability in the most rigorous heavy commercial vehicle service environments.
