The spacer sleeve, with code number H 33032, serves as a crucial element in achieving the correct axial distance between components within the ASL25 diesel engine. By providing precise spacing, it ensures proper alignment and distribution of mechanical loads, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the engine structure. Made from robust materials, the spacer sleeve resists deformation and wear under operational stress. Its accurate design and fit are essential for maintaining the mechanical integrity and smooth operation of the engine over time.
The sealing ring, identified by code number H 27223, is a vital part of the sealing systems in the ASL25 diesel engine. Its main function is to prevent fluid or gas leakage between engine components, thus preserving internal pressure and protecting critical areas from contamination. Manufactured from durable, heat-resistant materials, the sealing ring ensures tight, lasting seals even under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Proper installation and inspection of this component are key to maintaining optimal engine performance and preventing costly breakdowns.
The ball cap, designated by code number H 27051, is a precision-engineered component within the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ASL25 diesel engine. Its primary role is to provide a stable housing or support for ball joints or spherical elements in the mechanical system, ensuring smooth pivoting movements under load. Made from high-strength materials to resist wear and deformation, the ball cap is essential for maintaining alignment and reducing friction in the engine’s dynamic components. Its reliability directly contributes to the overall efficiency and lifespan of the machine.
The complete operating piston, marked with code number K 34000, is a major actuator component in the control system of the ZV40/48 diesel engine. Assembled with precision and designed for high-pressure performance, this piston converts fluid energy into mechanical motion, facilitating the operation of various engine control functions. Built from high-strength, wear-resistant materials, it withstands the rigorous conditions of continuous operation, including pressure surges and thermal expansion. Its dependable action ensures accurate responses within the engine’s control loop, directly impacting performance, efficiency, and operational safety.
The self-locking nut identified by code number K 32381 is a specialized fastener used in the barring engine assembly of the ZV40/48. Designed to resist loosening under vibration and torque fluctuations, this nut incorporates a locking mechanism that maintains a secure hold without the need for additional locking devices. This is especially important in barring engines, where consistent performance and precise alignment are crucial for safe engine turning and maintenance operations. Its robust construction and self-securing function help extend maintenance intervals and enhance the safety of engine handling procedures.
The reamed bolt with code number K 32390 is a precision-engineered fastener used in the pinion shaft assembly of the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Unlike standard bolts, reamed bolts are manufactured with exact diameter tolerances to fit tightly into mating holes, eliminating play and ensuring perfect alignment under dynamic load conditions. This bolt plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the gear system, preventing shifting or loosening of components during prolonged engine operation. Its strength and precision are vital to the reliability and performance of the power transmission mechanism.
The sealing element, marked by code number K 32368, is designed to ensure an airtight and secure fit for the cover K 32367 within the ZV40/48 diesel engine. This sealing component prevents leakage of lubricants, gases, or other fluids, maintaining internal pressure balance and protecting sensitive engine internals from contaminants. Made from high-performance, temperature-resistant materials, the seal maintains its integrity under high operating stress. Its proper installation is critical to ensuring engine efficiency, longevity, and environmental compliance.
Identified by code number K 32333, this bush serves as a supportive interface for the bearing insert K 32332 in the ZV40/48 diesel engine. It provides a crucial buffer that absorbs stress and minimizes friction between moving parts, allowing the bearing insert to function effectively. Engineered for tight tolerances and long service life, the bush plays a key role in maintaining the alignment and rotational integrity of internal components. By reducing wear and vibration, it enhances the reliability and durability of the engine's mechanical systems.
The shaft designated by code number K 32355 is a crucial component that connects and supports the forked lever K 32345 in the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. This shaft acts as a pivot axis, enabling precise movement and stable alignment of the lever during operation. Crafted from durable materials to withstand continuous mechanical stress, it ensures the lever functions smoothly within the complex valve actuation mechanism. Its accuracy and resistance to wear are essential for maintaining optimal timing and performance in high-demand industrial environments.
