MAN L21/31; Big-End Bearings (Code 50601)

Written by

Big-end bearings, code 50601, are essential load-bearing components connecting the connecting rod to the crankshaft in the MAN L21/31 engine. These precision bearings are designed to withstand high dynamic loads, rotational speeds, and continuous lubrication demands while ensuring smooth crankshaft motion. Their accurate fit and advanced bearing materials reduce friction and wear, protect the crankshaft journals, and play a key role in maintaining engine reliability, efficiency, and long service life under heavy-duty marine and stationary operating conditions.

MAN L21/31; Exhaust Valves (Code 50502)

Written by

The exhaust valves, code 50502, play a vital role in controlling the discharge of exhaust gases from the MAN L21/31 engine’s combustion chamber. Operating under extreme temperatures and corrosive conditions, these valves are engineered from high-temperature alloys to ensure durability, tight sealing, and resistance to thermal fatigue. Proper exhaust valve function is essential for maintaining engine efficiency, protecting downstream components such as turbochargers, and ensuring compliance with emission and reliability requirements in continuous-duty operation.

MAN L21/31; Valve Seat, Inlet (Code 50501)

Written by

The inlet valve seat, code 50501, is a critical combustion chamber component in the MAN L21/31 engine, providing a precise sealing surface for the inlet valve. Designed to withstand repeated thermal cycling and mechanical loading, the valve seat ensures reliable air admission into the cylinder while maintaining optimal compression integrity. Manufactured from wear- and heat-resistant materials, it minimizes erosion and deformation, contributing to stable engine performance, efficient combustion, and extended service intervals in demanding marine and power generation applications.

The counter ring K 73026 is a precision-machined sealing and wear component used in the cooling water pump of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Positioned opposite the rotating sealing elements, it provides a stable, wear-resistant contact surface that ensures reliable sealing and controlled friction during pump operation. Engineered to withstand continuous exposure to water, pressure fluctuations, and thermal cycling, this counter ring helps prevent leakage, protects adjacent components, and contributes to the long-term efficiency, reliability, and durability of the cooling water pump system.
