The shaft K 73023 is a critical drive component of the cooling water pump in the ZV40/48 engine, responsible for transmitting rotational power from the drive mechanism to the pump’s internal elements. Designed to operate reliably under constant load, vibration, and thermal influence, this shaft ensures precise alignment and efficient torque transfer throughout operation. Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, K 73023 minimizes wear on bearings and seals, supports stable pump performance, and plays a key role in maintaining effective engine cooling in demanding marine and industrial environments.
