The spacer identified by code number K 32336 plays a crucial role in the alignment and positioning of worm K 32323 within the drive system of the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. This component ensures the correct axial distance between the worm and adjacent parts, minimizing friction and wear while maintaining the integrity of the gear train. Precision-manufactured for durability and dimensional accuracy, the spacer contributes to smoother gear operation and extends the service life of the worm gear assembly, especially under continuous engine load.
