The cover marked with code number K 32358 is designed specifically for housing K 32301 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Its primary function is to protect internal mechanical assemblies from external contaminants such as dust, debris, and moisture. Additionally, it aids in maintaining the internal pressure and temperature balance required for optimal mechanical performance. Engineered for a secure fit and durability, the cover also provides easy access for maintenance operations, making it a practical and protective component within the overall engine architecture.

The bush, identified by code number K 32343, is a precision-fitted sleeve used in conjunction with support element K 32337 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. It plays a vital role in reducing friction between moving parts while maintaining alignment and structural stability. This bushing helps absorb loads and vibrations, protecting more sensitive components from wear. Crafted from materials optimized for high mechanical and thermal stress, the bush ensures long-lasting performance and is a key contributor to the dependable operation of the engine’s supporting framework.

The bearing insert, designated with code number K 32329, is an integral part of the vertical worm gear system in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine series. This component provides a low-friction interface that supports and guides the worm shaft during rotation, ensuring smooth motion and reducing mechanical wear. Made of highly durable and wear-resistant material, the insert absorbs and distributes loads evenly, enhancing the gear’s longevity and performance. Proper lubrication and alignment of this bearing insert are essential for the reliable and quiet operation of the entire vertical transmission system.

Designated with code K 32326, the worm gear is purpose-built to interface with the pinion shaft in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. This gear is vital for converting and transferring motion within the drive mechanism, particularly in high-load, low-speed applications. Its precise tooth geometry allows for smooth engagement with the worm, ensuring quiet operation and high torque multiplication. The worm gear’s robust construction and precision alignment are essential for maintaining the reliability and longevity of the engine’s drive systems in marine and industrial settings.
