The locking spring washer with code 06.16169-0004.2 is a crucial safety component used in bolted connections within the MAN L21/31 engine. Designed to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening under vibration and thermal expansion, this washer exerts a continuous tension against the fastener head. Its split-ring, spring-like design provides reliable anti-rotation performance, making it essential in securing structural and dynamic parts in both marine propulsion and stationary engine applications.

The control room casing plate, designated by code K 16201, serves as a structural and protective component in the ZV40/48 engine’s control housing system. Designed to shield and support sensitive control elements, this precision-engineered plate ensures mechanical integrity and environmental isolation from contaminants such as dust, moisture, or oil mist. Built from corrosion-resistant materials, the plate also aids in maintaining the correct alignment and rigidity of the casing. It is a key part of the engine’s instrumentation reliability and long-term operational stability.

The tubular sealing element with code K 16227 is engineered to provide secure and resilient sealing for components K 16220 and K 16222 within the ZV40/48 engine system. This tubular design ensures an even distribution of sealing pressure, making it ideal for dynamic assemblies where vibration and thermal expansion are factors. Made from durable and oil-resistant material, it supports the long-term reliability of the sealed components by maintaining airtight and fluid-tight conditions. Its use is essential for both operational safety and reduced maintenance cycles.

The O-ring with code K 21406 is a vital sealing element in the ZV40/48 diesel engine, specifically designed for the cylinder liner interface. Its primary function is to create a pressure-tight seal between the liner and the engine block, preventing the escape of combustion gases and the ingress of coolant into the combustion chamber. Manufactured from high-temperature and chemically resistant elastomer, this O-ring withstands extreme engine conditions while maintaining flexibility and integrity. It plays a crucial role in ensuring proper engine compression and preventing efficiency losses due to internal leaks.
