The nut designated as K 81190 serves as a locking and fastening component for threaded pin K 81192 and support K 81260 in the ZV40/48 engine structure. Engineered for high-strength applications, it ensures that connected parts remain securely fastened under dynamic loads and vibrations. Its compatibility with both components highlights its role in maintaining structural integrity and alignment within the engine’s support system. Proper tightening and periodic inspection of this nut are essential for the reliable operation of engine-mounted assemblies.

The support bearing code K 81169 is a vital structural element in the installation and stabilization of the ZV40/48 engine’s exhaust piping. This support maintains alignment and mitigates mechanical vibrations during operation, helping to prevent fatigue and stress on piping joints. Designed to accommodate thermal expansion and heavy exhaust system loads, it plays a critical role in ensuring operational safety and reducing maintenance frequency. Its robust design reflects the engine’s demand for precision and durability in all auxiliary systems.

The disk identified with code number K 72149 is a precision-machined component essential for the smooth functioning of the geared pump K 72106 in the ZV40/48 engine. Its main role is to ensure stable rotation and optimal torque transmission within the pump assembly. Built from wear-resistant materials, this disk endures continuous mechanical stress and high temperatures, making it indispensable for maintaining consistent fluid flow and pressure. Its reliability directly affects the efficiency and durability of the engine’s lubrication or fuel system, depending on the pump's function.

Crankshaft bearings, commonly associated with code H33016, play a vital role in supporting the crankshaft within the engine block, enabling smooth rotation under heavy loads. In the MAN L21/31, these bearings endure significant mechanical and thermal stresses. Failure or excessive wear in crankshaft bearings can lead to severe engine damage. Therefore, consistent inspection, lubrication, and prompt replacement are critical for maintaining engine health and avoiding costly repairs.
