The Sulzer ZV 40/48 marine diesel engine relies on precision components such as the spindle for shaft K 46111, which plays a key role in the smooth transmission of power and motion within the engine. Identified by code number K 46114, this spindle ensures the proper alignment and rotation of the shaft, which is critical for maintaining the engine's efficiency and durability. Regular inspection and maintenance of the spindle help prevent wear and tear, reducing downtime and ensuring optimal performance for marine vessels powered by the Sulzer ZV 40/48 engine.

The Sulzer ZV 40/48 engine features a shut-off piston for the shaft, with the component identified by code number K 46113. This piston, often referred to by its shaft designation K 46111, plays a critical role in controlling and regulating the flow of fuel or other fluids within the engine. By enabling precise shut-off functions, this piston ensures proper engine operation and helps prevent potential malfunctions or inefficiencies. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of this part are vital for preserving engine performance and preventing costly breakdowns in marine and industrial applications.

The Sulzer ZV 40/48, a powerful marine diesel engine, includes a pin for the pawl, identified by part number K 46150, with its corresponding code number K 46151. This pin plays a vital role in the engine's mechanical system by securing the pawl, which is integral to locking or preventing reverse movement in certain components. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of this pin ensure the smooth operation and safety of the engine, minimizing the risk of mechanical failures and ensuring the reliability of the ship's propulsion or power systems.

The Sulzer ZV 40/48 engine uses self-locking nuts, such as those with code number K 45067, specifically designed for securing threaded pins K 45063 and K 45064. These self-locking nuts play a critical role in maintaining the engine's structural integrity by preventing loosening due to vibrations and mechanical stresses commonly encountered in marine environments. By ensuring a secure fit, these nuts enhance the overall reliability and performance of the Sulzer ZV 40/48 engine, contributing to safer and more efficient operation under demanding conditions.
