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.
