The lower bearing half for the thrust bearing (code K 12051) is a critical component in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, designed to absorb axial forces and ensure smooth rotation of the crankshaft. This precision-engineered part plays a vital role in reducing friction and wear, preventing excessive stress on engine components during operation. Made from high-quality, durable materials, it is built to withstand high loads and extreme operating conditions, making it essential for long-term engine reliability. Regular inspection and proper lubrication of the thrust bearing are crucial to maintaining efficient engine performance in demanding marine and industrial environments.

The valve casing for the crankcase vent (code K 16021) is a key component in managing the ventilation and pressure balance within the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine’s crankcase. By housing the venting mechanism, this casing ensures the efficient release of gases while preventing contamination and maintaining optimal operating conditions. Its robust construction allows it to endure harsh marine and industrial environments, safeguarding engine performance and longevity. Proper maintenance and routine checks of the valve casing are essential to prevent excessive pressure buildup, ensuring smooth engine operation and compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

The washer for blind flange attachment (code K 11824) plays a small yet vital role in the secure and leak-proof connection of flanges within the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Acting as a buffer between the flange and fasteners, this washer ensures even distribution of pressure, reducing the risk of loosening and wear over time. Manufactured from high-quality materials, it is built to withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures and pressure fluctuations. Regular inspection and timely replacement of this washer are crucial for maintaining the integrity of flange connections, ensuring a reliable and efficient engine performance in marine and industrial environments.

The bearing cover for the camshaft bearing (code K 11118) is a crucial component in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, providing essential protection and support to the camshaft assembly. Designed to securely enclose the bearing, this cover helps maintain proper lubrication and prevents contaminants from entering the system, ensuring smooth engine operation. Engineered for durability, it withstands high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, contributing to the long-term reliability of the camshaft mechanism. Routine inspection and maintenance of the bearing cover are essential to prevent premature wear and to ensure the camshaft functions optimally in demanding marine and industrial applications.
