85000118 VOLVO FH 12/500 Single Cylinder Air Compressor

The single cylinder air compressor plays a critical role in the pneumatic system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring consistent air pressure for braking and auxiliary systems. This component is designed to withstand rigorous operating conditions, providing reliable air compression through its precision-engineered single-cylinder architecture. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability in demanding transport environments.

85000118 is the OE-equivalent single cylinder air compressor used in the VOLVO FH 12/500. This unit is specifically engineered to meet the strict requirements of the Volvo D12 engine series, ensuring seamless integration with existing vehicle systems. By maintaining exact technical specifications, it provides a reliable alternative for workshop technicians seeking to restore original system pressure.

Installation requires precision to ensure the water-cooling system and air ports are correctly aligned. The unit features a Ø85.00 cylinder bore, a 62 mm stroke, and an M26x1,5 outlet port. The water cooling system utilizes M16x1,5 ports for both inlet and outlet to manage thermal loads effectively during heavy-duty operation. Maintenance of the cooling lines and checking for leaks at the M35 air inlet port is essential for optimal service life.

This heavy-duty component is built with high-strength components to support the continuous demands of long-haul transport. Technicians should ensure that all connections, including the M12x1,5 unloader port, are secured according to standard workshop procedures to prevent pressure drops in the pneumatic circuit.
