The locking ring identified by code K 72145 is used to secure the flexible rod K 72135 within the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine system. It holds the rod firmly in place, ensuring accurate alignment and preventing unintended movement during engine operation. This is particularly important in systems where mechanical stability and precision are critical, such as fuel or lubrication controls. Constructed to withstand mechanical stress and vibration, the locking ring supports both safety and reliability across extended engine service intervals.

The support with code number K 72303 is an essential structural component in the cylinder lubrication system of the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. It provides a secure mounting base for the lubrication delivery mechanism, ensuring that lubricating oil is evenly and accurately distributed to cylinder walls and piston rings. Proper cylinder lubrication is vital for minimizing wear, reducing friction, and prolonging engine life. This support not only ensures stability but also contributes to consistent engine performance and reduced maintenance requirements.

The packing component with code number K 73039 is specifically designed for use with part K 73034, the locking screw of the cooling water pump casing in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. This packing plays a crucial sealing role, ensuring that the connection remains watertight under varying thermal and pressure conditions. It helps prevent coolant leakage, which is essential for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the engine's cooling system. Made from durable, high-resistance material, this packing ensures long-term performance and reliability in demanding marine environments.

The complete lubricating oil pump, also known as the cylinder lubricating pump, is vital in the MAN L21/31 engine for distributing lubricating oil to the cylinders and other moving parts. This pump maintains proper lubrication to reduce friction, prevent wear, and support smooth engine operation. Its reliable performance is key to extending engine life and ensuring consistent functionality under heavy-duty conditions.
