The complete damper end cover with code K 16500 is an integral part of the engine’s vibration dampening system, located at the far end of the crankshaft in the ZV40/48 engine. This component encloses the torsional damper mechanism, protecting it from mechanical damage and environmental exposure. Designed to withstand the effects of rotating mass forces, heat, and oil exposure, the cover ensures the proper functioning of the damper, which reduces engine vibration and mechanical stress. Its robust construction contributes to smoother engine operation and extends the life of connected rotating assemblies.

Ring for K 27008 (Code Number K 27010)

Written by

The ring coded K 27010 is a specially designed support and locking element used in combination with component K 27008 in the ZV40/48 engine assembly. It ensures secure positioning and mechanical stability of the mating part, particularly under dynamic engine conditions involving vibration, thermal expansion, or pressure fluctuations. Manufactured with tight tolerances and wear-resistant materials, this ring plays an important role in maintaining sealing integrity and axial alignment. Its durable construction helps extend the lifespan of the assembly and supports reliable engine operation in harsh industrial and marine environments.

The cover with code K 27007 is a vital protective component used in conjunction with the bearing casing K 28000 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Its primary function is to shield the bearing assembly from external contaminants such as dust, oil mist, and moisture, while also helping to retain internal lubrication. Precision-machined from corrosion-resistant materials, this cover ensures long-term protection of the rotating elements, preserving the alignment and performance of the engine's drive train. By minimizing wear and preventing ingress of harmful particles, it contributes to smoother engine operation and reduced maintenance needs.

The silicone paste sealing material, code EN14AM0.001, is a versatile and high-performance compound used in the MAN L21/31 engine for sealing joints and preventing fluid leaks. Applied during assembly between metal surfaces such as flanges or covers, it fills microscopic gaps and resists heat, oil, and pressure. This packing material enhances engine cleanliness and reduces maintenance by maintaining tight seals over extended service intervals, even under harsh operational conditions.
