85000117 VOLVO FM 360 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

This twin cylinder air compressor plays a critical role in maintaining the pneumatic pressure required for heavy commercial vehicle brake and suspension systems. Engineered as a high-strength component, it utilizes a robust construction to ensure reliable operation under demanding driving conditions. The unit features a dual-cylinder configuration that provides stable air output for long-haul transport operations.

85000117 is the OE-equivalent of the VOLVO 85000117 air compressor used in the VOLVO FM 360. This specific part is engineered to meet the exact dimensional and pressure requirements of the original engine assembly, ensuring seamless integration within the vehicle's pneumatic circuit. It is designed specifically for heavy-duty truck applications where reliability is paramount.

For the workshop technician, this component offers straightforward installation thanks to its standardized port dimensions. The unit features an Ø35 air inlet port and an M26x1.5 air outlet port, alongside an M12x1 unloader port. Given its water-cooled nature (W), it is essential to ensure the cooling channels are clear and properly connected to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent thermal degradation during service intervals.

Technicians should verify the through-drive compatibility and check the M16x1.5 water inlet and outlet ports during assembly to prevent any leakage or pressure drops in the air system. This part provides a durable solution for maintaining heavy commercial vehicle fleets.
