The spherical headed pin, identified by code K 28009, is a precision-machined component used to connect and articulate the main and auxiliary rocker arms (K 28005 and K 28015) in the ZV40/48 engine. Its spherical head allows for smooth rotational and angular motion, reducing friction and wear in the high-stress environment of the valve gear mechanism. Built for strength and reliability, this pin ensures accurate alignment and stable operation of the valve train system, contributing to the overall efficiency and durability of the engine.

The O-ring with code number K 28044 is a small but vital sealing component used in conjunction with flange K 28029 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. It plays a critical role in preventing fluid or gas leaks by creating a tight, reliable seal between mating surfaces. Manufactured from durable, heat- and pressure-resistant materials, this O-ring ensures long-lasting performance even in the harsh conditions of marine and industrial engine environments. Proper maintenance and replacement of this component are essential for preserving engine integrity and avoiding costly system failures.

The vibration damper marked with code K 31510 plays a vital role in absorbing and reducing torsional vibrations within the ZV40/48 diesel engine’s crankshaft system. By dampening oscillations generated during combustion and rotation, it protects the crankshaft and other connected components from fatigue and premature wear. This component contributes significantly to smoother engine operation, improved longevity, and reduced noise. Engineered to function under extreme conditions, the vibration damper ensures mechanical balance and helps maintain operational stability in both marine and industrial environments.

The shaft end piece with code K 31010 is a crucial termination component of the crankshaft assembly in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. It provides structural support and precise alignment for accessories or systems mounted at the end of the crankshaft, such as couplings or drive gears. This component must maintain exact tolerances to ensure smooth power transmission and to prevent imbalance or misalignment during rotation. Manufactured from high-strength materials to withstand torque and vibration, the shaft end piece is vital for maintaining crankshaft stability and overall engine reliability.
