85000118 Volvo FM 12/340 Air Compressor

This single cylinder air compressor serves as a critical component within the pneumatic braking and engine systems of heavy commercial vehicles. Designed to provide consistent air pressure, it utilizes a water-cooling-based thermal management system to maintain optimal operating temperatures during high-load cycles. The robust construction ensures that the compressed air delivery remains stable, supporting the overall reliability of the vehicle's pneumatic infrastructure.

85000118 is the OE-equivalent of the VOLVO 85000118 air compressor used in the VOLVO FM 12/340 series. This high-strength component is engineered to meet exact technical specifications, including a Ø85.00 cylinder bore and a 352cm³ swept volume. It is specifically designed for heavy commercial vehicle applications where consistent pneumatic output is essential for operational safety.

For workshop technicians, this unit features a through-drive configuration and specialized ports including an M26x1,5 air outlet and an M16x1,5 water inlet/outlet system. Installation requires careful attention to the water-cooling connections to ensure efficient heat dissipation. Regular inspection of the M12x1,5 air unloader port and the water-cooled valve plate is recommended to maintain peak system performance and prevent pressure fluctuations in the pneumatic circuit.
