Connecting Rod 97333173 for Ingersoll Rand SS5 – Fleet Supply
97333173 Connecting Rod, SAE 1045 Forged Steel, HRC 38–42 — replacement for Ingersoll Rand SS5, SS5L5, SS5N5 air compressors. Big-end bore held to ±0.005 mm with sintered bronze small-end bushing for consistent oil film retention. Plan rod replacement alongside crankpin bearing and piston ring service to avoid repeated teardowns; inspect crankpin journal and small-end bushing surfaces during swap to prevent premature re-failure. Stocking strategy for multi-unit SS5 fleets: align spare quantity with operating hours and duty cycle to cover predictable consumption windows. Recommended replacement intervals and service planning guidance included with every shipment.
