The cylinder crankcase, code 11.01200-3593-1.H, is a core structural component of the MAN L21/31 engine, housing and supporting key moving parts such as the crankshaft and cylinders. Built to withstand internal pressures and mechanical stress, the crankcase ensures precise alignment and rigid support for all rotating assemblies. Its robust cast design plays a crucial role in the engine's strength, vibration dampening, and overall operational integrity, especially under continuous marine or power generation workloads.

The drive shaft with code K 32321 is a key transmission component that transfers torque to the vertical worm gear in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. This shaft must withstand high torsional loads and deliver consistent power with minimal backlash. Crafted from robust materials and manufactured with high precision, it ensures reliable operation of the worm gear mechanism, which may be part of engine barring or auxiliary drive systems. Its performance directly impacts the efficiency and durability of critical drivetrain assemblies.

The housing cover identified by code K 32315 is designed to enclose and protect the pinion shaft assembly within the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. This cover plays a critical role in shielding internal components from contaminants, retaining lubricants, and ensuring the mechanical integrity of the pinion system. Its precise fitment supports the proper alignment of rotating parts, reducing wear and vibration. A reliable housing cover like this is key to preserving gearbox efficiency and minimizing maintenance downtime.

The bush coded K 28008 is a vital wear-resistant insert used in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine's main rocker arm (K 28005). This component serves as a bearing surface, allowing the rocker arm to pivot smoothly with minimal friction while maintaining precise valve timing under high load conditions. Engineered for durability, the bush absorbs stress and reduces wear on the rocker arm, significantly extending the engine’s service life. Regular inspection and lubrication of this part are essential to ensure efficient valve actuation and overall engine performance.
