Precision-engineered for reliable operation and ease of use, this lever enhances system flexibility, allowing operators to manage flow routes efficiently during both normal operation and maintenance procedures.
The nipple with code number K 72320 is a specialized connector used in conjunction with the block-type ball cock K 72302 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. This component ensures a tight and secure fit between piping elements, facilitating precise flow control of fluids—typically fuel or lubricants—within the system. Built for durability and pressure resistance, it plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the engine’s fluid systems, particularly under high-load or variable operating conditions.
The coupling halves identified by code K 72120 form a mechanical link between the drive shaft and the geared pump in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Designed to transmit torque smoothly and absorb minor misalignments, these coupling halves ensure reliable power transfer under high load and continuous use. Their precise fit and robust construction help maintain the integrity of the pump assembly, contributing to the overall reliability and efficiency of critical systems such as lubrication or fuel delivery.
The lever marked with code K 72127 is designed to interact with the flexible rod K 72135, providing mechanical advantage and precision movement within control or regulation systems of the ZV40/48 engine. It serves as a critical linkage point, translating linear or rotary force to drive auxiliary mechanisms such as lubrication or fuel regulation. Constructed for strength and precision, this lever plays a key role in ensuring responsive and consistent engine performance under varying operational loads.
The bush with code number K 73021 is a vital component within the cooling water pump assembly of the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Acting as a guide and wear-resistant surface for the rotating shaft, this bush minimizes friction and helps ensure smooth operation of the pump. Made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, it withstands continuous exposure to water and thermal cycles. Its reliability directly impacts the cooling efficiency and overall health of the engine, making it essential for long-term marine and industrial use.
The spring plate designated by code K 72140 works in conjunction with the flexible rod K 72135, providing essential tension and support within the ZV40/48 engine assembly. It helps absorb vibration and maintain precise rod alignment during engine operation. This component ensures the flexible rod can transmit force or motion reliably, especially in systems where accurate movement is critical, such as fuel injection or lubrication control. Manufactured from resilient, wear-resistant material, the spring plate enhances both operational stability and service life of connected parts.
The threaded pin marked as code K 72148 serves as a key fastening and pivot element for the levers K 72127 and K 72130 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Designed for strength and precise alignment, this pin ensures secure and smooth articulation of the lever mechanisms involved in actuation or control systems. Its threaded design allows for tight, vibration-resistant assembly, contributing to long-term mechanical stability and accurate system function under dynamic load conditions. This small component plays a big role in maintaining engine control integrity.
