The lock nut K 87093 is a precision-engineered securing component used on spindle K 87088 within the pressure-regulating systems of the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 diesel engine. Designed to maintain exact axial positioning under extreme vibration and thermal cycling, this lock nut ensures the stability and reliability of the valve mechanism throughout long operating intervals. By preventing loosening, thread damage, and micro-movement under load, it plays a vital role in safeguarding the accuracy of the regulating assembly, directly supporting consistent engine performance and long-term durability across demanding marine and power-plant environments.
