This is an air brake compressor for Volvo articulated haulers, responsible for generating compressed air for the braking system. It is engineered to meet demanding operational standards, providing consistent air supply unlike a worn compressor that might lead to intermittent braking issues. Operators may observe a persistent air leak sound, slow air pressure build-up, or the air dryer operating excessively when this compressor is failing.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Always replace brakes in axle sets. Bed-in new brake pads with 8–10 moderate stops from 40 km/h. Check disc runout with a dial gauge — maximum 0.1 mm. Inspect caliper slides and pistons when replacing pads.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A malfunctioning compressor might initially cause a noticeable delay in achieving full air brake pressure. If left unaddressed, this can lead to inconsistent braking performance, especially under load or during demanding maneuvers. The risk is compromised braking capability, potentially affecting operational safety.
Ensure the air intake filter and lines are clean and unobstructed before connecting to the new compressor. Avoid overtightening mounting bolts, which can distort the compressor body.
It is recommended to replace the air dryer cartridge and inspect air lines for leaks when servicing the air brake compressor.
