The locking screw with code number K 32393 is a precision-engineered fastener used to secure cover K 32301 on the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Its main function is to maintain a tight and vibration-resistant seal over the barring engine housing, ensuring operational stability and preventing unintentional loosening during engine service. Made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, this screw is vital for long-term reliability and safety in demanding industrial or marine environments.
The screw identified by code number K 33421 serves as a locking component for the serrated bolt-locking device K 33420 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Though small, this screw is essential in maintaining secure connections under vibration-heavy conditions. By preventing loosening of the bolt-locking mechanism during engine operation, it plays a crucial safety role and ensures mechanical stability, especially in parts of the engine where high-speed rotation and repeated stress cycles are the norm.
The connecting rod shaft, marked with code K 33101, is an integral part of the engine’s powertrain, acting as the central axis around which the connecting rod pivots. This shaft must offer both torsional rigidity and fatigue resistance, as it is continuously subjected to rotational loads and high-frequency vibrations. In the Sulzer ZV40/48, it helps synchronize the movement of pistons with the crankshaft, contributing to engine efficiency and smooth operation across various load conditions.
The connecting rod with code number K 33000 is a key mechanical linkage in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine, responsible for converting linear motion from the operating piston into rotational motion at the crankshaft. Built to withstand extreme pressure and dynamic forces, this component plays a vital role in maintaining the precision and power transfer within the engine. Its balanced geometry and high-strength material composition ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability, even under the intense thermal and mechanical stress typical of marine diesel engines.
The upper part of the piston, code K 34101, forms the crown of the operating piston in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Exposed to intense heat and pressure, it is key to combustion performance and durability. Its design supports optimal fuel burn and thermal management, directly influencing power output and longevity.
The bolt marked with code number K 33400 is a high-strength fastener designed to secure the connecting rod shaft in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. This component must withstand extreme mechanical stress, especially during high-speed rotation and combustion cycles. It ensures structural integrity and prevents engine failure through tight and durable connection.
The lower bearing half, code number K 33220, is an essential support component in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine's crankshaft assembly. It is specifically engineered to absorb and distribute dynamic loads exerted by the rotating crankshaft, ensuring smooth operation and minimal friction. Manufactured from high-strength, wear-resistant materials, this bearing half plays a critical role in maintaining engine efficiency, longevity, and vibration stability under high-load conditions.
The oil filling eye coded K 32379 is a functional element designed to facilitate easy and clean oil replenishment for the barring engine in the Sulzer ZV40/48 system. Typically located in an accessible position, it acts as both an entry point for lubrication oil and a visual inspection aid to monitor oil levels. Its presence ensures that the barring engine remains properly lubricated, minimizing wear on moving parts and contributing to the reliability and longevity of the entire mechanism.
The knob identified by code K 32378 is a user-interface component used for the manual engagement or release of the arrestor pin in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine's barring system. This small yet crucial part allows operators to control the locking mechanism of the rotating shaft, ensuring safe operation during manual turning or when the engine is stationary. Engineered for ergonomic handling and durability, the knob simplifies an essential safety function in the daily handling of the engine.
The electric motor marked with code number K 32375 is a vital component of the barring engine system in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. It provides the power necessary to slowly rotate the engine shaft during maintenance, inspection, or warm-up phases. By enabling controlled and gradual movement, the electric motor ensures technicians can safely align pistons and valves without engaging the full engine power. Its robust design supports consistent performance under varying operational conditions, making it an indispensable part of the engine’s auxiliary functions.
