Lower Bearing Half (Code Number K 33220)

Written by

The lower bearing half, code number K 33220, is an essential support component in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine's crankshaft assembly. It is specifically engineered to absorb and distribute dynamic loads exerted by the rotating crankshaft, ensuring smooth operation and minimal friction. Manufactured from high-strength, wear-resistant materials, this bearing half plays a critical role in maintaining engine efficiency, longevity, and vibration stability under high-load conditions.

The guide bearing cap, code 11.01254-0169.A, is a precision-fitted component used to secure and guide the motion of critical engine elements such as the camshaft or auxiliary shafts within the MAN L21/31 engine. By stabilizing axial and radial movement, the guide bearing cap contributes to smooth engine timing and mechanical efficiency. Its durable design helps reduce wear, misalignment, and mechanical failure over time, especially in applications involving sustained operational loads.

The quality specification document, code 10.09412-3021-1.0, outlines the rigorous manufacturing and inspection standards for the MAN L21/31 engine. This specification ensures that all components, from castings to precision-machined parts, meet strict criteria for material integrity, dimensional accuracy, and performance reliability. It serves as a critical reference for OEMs, maintenance teams, and suppliers to guarantee consistent quality throughout the engine’s lifecycle and to uphold MAN Diesel's global reputation for engineering excellence.
