The tie rod with code 11.01295-0278.E is a high-strength structural component used to clamp and stabilize major engine assemblies in the MAN L21/31 engine, such as the cylinder block and crankcase. Designed to withstand extreme tensile loads, temperature variations, and vibration, the tie rod ensures uniform load distribution and structural rigidity throughout the engine. Its precise manufacturing and robust material properties are crucial for maintaining alignment, preventing distortion, and supporting safe, long-term operation in demanding marine and power generation environments.
