The worm gear with code number K 32322 is a critical drive component in the horizontal worm gear assembly of the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Designed to transmit motion and torque efficiently at a right angle, this gear ensures smooth and precise rotational movement between the worm shaft and the gear wheel. Its robust construction from high-strength, wear-resistant alloy allows it to endure heavy loads and continuous operation under harsh marine and industrial conditions. The precision-cut gear teeth contribute to reduced vibration, minimal backlash, and long-lasting performance in the engine’s auxiliary systems.
