The toothed wheel K 41110 is a critical power-transmission and timing component within the camshaft drive of the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Its principal function is to transmit rotational motion through the camshaft drive while maintaining the precise mechanical relationship required between the crankshaft-driven gear train and the camshaft, which is fundamental to correct engine timing. The tooth profile, pitch, concentricity, material quality, and dimensional accuracy are therefore particularly important, as deviations or excessive wear can affect gear engagement, increase noise and vibration, and ultimately influence the timing of engine functions controlled by the camshaft. Designed for repeated heavy-duty operation, the K 41110 toothed wheel must withstand cyclic tooth loading, vibration, lubrication conditions, and long service periods without unacceptable wear or deformation. Correct lubrication, alignment, backlash, and inspection of the gear teeth are important during maintenance. By ensuring accurate and reliable transmission of rotational motion to the camshaft, the K 41110 toothed wheel contributes directly to stable engine timing, dependable operation, and long-term reliability of the ZV40/48 engine.
