The thrust ring coded K 74132 is an integral part of the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine’s fuel system, specifically working in tandem with gear wheel K 74126. This precision-engineered ring serves to absorb axial forces and maintain the correct positioning of the gear during operation. Its role is crucial in reducing mechanical wear and ensuring smooth gear meshing under high-speed conditions. Built from durable, heat-resistant materials, the thrust ring supports the engine’s long-term reliability and performance.
