The worm gear, marked with code number K 32326, is an integral part of the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine’s gear train, designed specifically to interface with the pinion shaft. This component enables the conversion of rotational motion into controlled mechanical output, often used to achieve high torque with compact design. Its unique helical structure allows for smooth meshing with the pinion, reducing noise and enhancing efficiency. Engineered for durability and precision, the worm gear is essential in supporting consistent power delivery in the engine’s operational cycle.

The pinion, identified by code number K 32325, is a critical gear component in the power transmission system of the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Mounted on the pinion shaft, this gear plays a central role in transferring rotational energy to other mechanical systems within the engine. Precision-engineered for optimal tooth engagement and load distribution, the pinion ensures smooth torque transfer and minimizes wear. Its robust design and durable materials allow it to operate under high stress, contributing significantly to the engine's mechanical reliability and long-term performance.

The fitted bolt, marked with code number K 31024, is a specialized fastener used in the crankshaft assembly of the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Unlike standard bolts, fitted bolts are machined for an exact fit within the crankshaft’s mounting holes, providing enhanced shear strength and precise alignment. This ensures minimal play and maximum structural integrity, especially important under the intense loads and rotational forces present in large diesel engines. The fitted bolt is crucial for maintaining crankshaft geometry and operational reliability, supporting the engine’s performance and durability across prolonged use.

The bolt identified by code number K 31022 is specifically designed to fasten the crankshaft counterweight (K 31020) in place within the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. This high-strength fastener plays a vital role in maintaining the secure and precise attachment of the counterweight, ensuring balance and alignment during high-speed engine rotations. Engineered to withstand the stresses and vibrations of long-term operation, the bolt’s reliability is essential for engine stability. Regular inspection and proper torque application during assembly are crucial to prevent loosening or mechanical failure.
