Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of the connecting rod and piston in a compressor?
The piston compresses air inside the cylinder to generate pressure for the braking system, while the connecting rod transmits motion from the crankshaft to the piston.
Which engines are these parts compatible with?
They are compatible with several heavy-duty engines including Caterpillar C15, C16, 3176, and Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines.
When should I replace the compressor connecting rod and piston?
Replacement is recommended if you notice increased oil consumption, unusual running noise, or a drop in air pressure output from the pneumatic system.
Can I replace only one part of this assembly?
While individual parts exist, it is often preferred during an overhaul to renew the piston and rings together to ensure a proper airtight seal.
