The worm, coded K 32323, is an integral part of the horizontal worm gear assembly in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. It translates rotational motion into linear or controlled rotational output, enabling precision adjustments within the engine’s gear mechanism. Its helical design ensures efficient meshing with the gear teeth, reducing slippage and enhancing torque transfer. Engineered for durability and smooth operation, the worm supports critical control functions and is key to the synchronization of mechanical systems, especially where compact and efficient power transmission is required.
