K 87093 – Lock Nut for Spindle K 87088

Written by

The lock nut K 87093 is a precision-engineered securing component used on spindle K 87088 within the pressure-regulating systems of the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 diesel engine. Designed to maintain exact axial positioning under extreme vibration and thermal cycling, this lock nut ensures the stability and reliability of the valve mechanism throughout long operating intervals. By preventing loosening, thread damage, and micro-movement under load, it plays a vital role in safeguarding the accuracy of the regulating assembly, directly supporting consistent engine performance and long-term durability across demanding marine and power-plant environments.

The mounting of the turbocharger-to-turbocharger (tc-tc) system, code P51203-38, involves secure and vibration-resistant installation of critical turbocharging components in the MAN L21/31 engine. This arrangement ensures mechanical stability, optimal alignment, and efficient airflow between turbochargers, which is essential for balanced boost pressure and consistent engine performance. Proper mounting safeguards the longevity and effectiveness of the turbocharging system, especially under high-load, high-speed marine engine conditions.

The exhaust pipe arrangement, code P51202-10, ensures the safe and efficient expulsion of exhaust gases from the MAN L21/31 engine. Designed with optimized flow dynamics, this system reduces back pressure, minimizes heat buildup, and helps control noise and emissions. Its robust and corrosion-resistant design is critical in harsh marine environments, maintaining reliable operation while supporting overall engine performance and compliance with environmental standards.
