85000118 VOLVO FH 12/460 Single Cylinder Air Compressor

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for braking and auxiliary functions. The unit is designed to withstand rigorous operational cycles, utilizing high-strength components to maintain structural integrity under thermal stress. Its water-cooling architecture allows for efficient heat dissipation during high-load cycles.

85000118 is the OE-equivalent of the VOLVO 85000118 single cylinder air compressor used in the VOLVO FH 12/460 (D12 engine) series. This precision-engineered part features a cylinder bore of Ø85.00 mm and a swept volume of 352cm³, providing stable air delivery for heavy-duty applications. It is specifically matched to meet the strict technical requirements of the original vehicle assembly.

For workshop technicians, installation requires careful attention to the port specifications: the air inlet port is Ø35, the air outlet port is M26x1,5, and the water inlet/outlet ports are M16x1,5. The unit includes an M12x1,5 air unloader port and is designed for water-cooled (W) operation to ensure optimal temperature regulation during service intervals. Regular inspections of the through-drive and cooling connections are recommended to maintain peak system efficiency.

This component is engineered to provide seamless integration with existing pneumatic hardware, ensuring that the compressor operates within standard pressure parameters without degradation. It is a vital part for maintaining the safety and reliability of heavy vehicle braking systems.
