Understanding Your Parts: Key Component Explanations

To help you better understand your machinery, here are explanations for some common parts we supply at Growshine International, your trusted global parts supplier for heavy-duty parts and specialized parts:

• The Oil Pan Support Block (VG14150046) is typically found on the underside of an engine, providing stability and support for the oil pan, a critical component for engine lubrication. For example, in a Sinotruk HOWO ZZ4257N3247C engine oil pan support block / Синотрук HOWO ZZ4257N3247C блок опоры поддона картера двигателя.
• A Fuel Injector (61560010056) is installed in the engine's combustion chamber (or intake manifold in some designs) to atomize and spray fuel, ensuring efficient combustion. Consider a Cummins ISX15 fuel injector / Форсунка Cummins ISX15 for heavy-duty trucks.
• The Thermostat (VG1500060116) is located in the engine's cooling system, controlling coolant flow to maintain optimal engine operating temperature. An example is a Volvo D13 engine thermostat / Термостат двигателя Volvo D13.
• A Coupling Sleeve (61560080275) connects shafts in a powertrain, typically found in the transmission or drive axle, allowing for power transfer while accommodating minor misalignments. For instance, in a Mercedes-Benz Actros transmission coupling sleeve / Муфта сцепления трансмиссии Mercedes-Benz Actros.
• The Air Compressor (AZ1560130070 or WG1560130080) is typically engine-driven and supplies compressed air for braking systems, air suspension, and other pneumatic functions in heavy vehicles. Think of a Scania R-series air compressor / Воздушный компрессор Scania R-серии.
• A Half Shaft Gear (99014320032, 99014320059, 99012320009) is part of the differential assembly within the axle, transmitting power to the wheels. A common application is in a Komatsu WA470 wheel loader axle half shaft gear / Зубчатое колесо полуоси моста фронтального погрузчика Komatsu WA470.
• A Thrust Rod (9114521175, 9631523174, 9114521174, DZ9114520175) stabilizes the axle, preventing forward and backward movement while allowing vertical suspension travel. It's often found in the suspension system of heavy trucks and buses. For instance, a Kenworth T680 rear suspension thrust rod / Толкатель задней подвески Kenworth T680.
• The Axle Seal Ring (AZ112340114, AZ112340113) is a crucial component for preventing lubricant leakage from the axle housing and protecting against contaminants. It's found at the wheel ends or differential input/output shafts. An example is a John Deere 8R tractor front axle seal ring / Кольцо уплотнительное переднего моста трактора John Deere 8R.
• A Synchronizer Sleeve (1312302057, 2159333001, 1310304195) is an integral part of a manual transmission, enabling smooth and clash-free gear changes by matching the speeds of the engaging gears. This is critical in a ZF 16S181 transmission synchronizer sleeve / Синхронизатор коробки передач ZF 16S181 found in many heavy trucks.
• A Relay Valve (99014360047) is a component in air brake systems, typically located close to the brake chambers it controls. It speeds up the application and release of air pressure to the brakes, improving response time. Consider a DAF XF brake relay valve / Релейный клапан тормозной системы DAF XF.
