The standalone impeller with code K 71029 is the heart of the Sulzer ZV40/48 oil pump, converting rotational motion into fluid movement. Its carefully profiled vanes generate the necessary flow rate and pressure to circulate oil through engine bearings and galleries. Forged from wear-resistant alloy, the impeller endures high centrifugal forces and abrasive particulates in the oil. Monitoring impeller condition and clearances helps maintain efficient lubrication and prevents cavitation or performance loss over time.

The integrated impeller and drive shaft unit bearing code K 71028 combines the rotating vane assembly and its driving connection into a single, precisely machined component. In the Sulzer ZV40/48’s oil pump, this design reduces alignment errors between shaft and vanes, ensuring smooth oil flow and consistent pressure build-up. Manufactured from hardened steel for high strength and wear resistance, the unit withstands the dynamic loads and high speeds of continuous engine operation, contributing directly to optimal lubrication performance.

The complete bearing cover assembly coded K 71022 safeguards the oil pump’s rotating elements by encasing the bearing in a sealed housing. In the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, this cover ensures precise lubrication of the bearing and prevents contamination from entering the pump internals. Made from robust, corrosion-resistant materials, it maintains alignment and protects the bearing under continuous operation and thermal cycling. Regular inspection of the cover and its seals is vital to prevent oil loss and ensure the pump’s long-term reliability.

The gear wheel bearing code K 71030 is a precision-machined component that drives the oil pump in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Its accurately cut teeth mesh with the mating gear to generate the flow and pressure necessary for engine lubrication. Constructed from hardened, wear-resistant steel, the wheel endures heavy load and high rotational speeds, ensuring reliable oil delivery to critical bearings and seals. Regular inspection of the gear wheel for wear and clearances helps maintain optimal lubrication performance and prevents premature engine wear.

The pressure spring coded K 74135 provides the necessary preload within the fuel transfer pump of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, maintaining constant contact between moving parts and compensating for wear over time. Its calibrated tension ensures that valves and seals engage correctly, preserving consistent fuel pressure and preventing pulsation. Made from fatigue-resistant alloy, the spring withstands the high-cycle demands and thermal variations typical of continuous pump operation. Proper spring performance is critical to fuel system efficiency and engine responsiveness.

The support ring with code K 74131 is a key structural element in the fuel transfer pump of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Positioned between the pump housing and mounting bracket, it ensures precise alignment and absorbs radial and axial loads generated during operation. By keeping the pump assembly firmly centered, this ring minimizes vibration and wear on internal components. Crafted from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, it guarantees long-term stability and contributes to the smooth, reliable delivery of fuel under demanding marine or industrial conditions.

The locking screw identified as K 73134 is a small but vital component used to secure parts within the raw water pump of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Its function is to maintain tight fastening and alignment of components, even under conditions of vibration and thermal expansion. Properly torqued, this screw prevents leaks and potential mechanical failure, contributing to the overall stability and performance of the cooling system. Regular inspection ensures its continued reliability in demanding marine environments.

The casing with code number K 74102 provides robust protection and structural integrity for the fuel transfer pump in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. It houses and supports all internal moving components while also forming a tight seal to prevent fuel leakage. Manufactured to withstand the pressures and thermal stresses of diesel engine operation, this casing ensures the pump performs efficiently and safely under continuous use. It plays a key role in maintaining the engine’s steady fuel supply.

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.

The shim coded K 71042 is a precision spacer used with cover K 71039 to ensure accurate alignment and fitment in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Shims like this are crucial for fine-tuning distances between mating surfaces, compensating for manufacturing tolerances, and supporting consistent mechanical operation. Its use contributes to maintaining the correct compression of gaskets and seals, thereby extending component life and improving maintenance outcomes.
