361-8847 crankshaft AS CAT spare part

Advantages

• Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliability
• Designed to incorporate counterweights strategically placed to balance out the forces generated by the reciprocating motion of the pistons

1. Forged from a single piece of steel, offering high torsional and fatigue resistance—ideal for prolonged, continuous operation.
2. Main journals and connecting rod journals are nitride-hardened to reduce bearing wear and extend the interval between major overhauls.
3. Counterweights are integrated into the forging, ensuring high dynamic balancing precision, which suppresses engine vibration and lowers noise levels.
4. Features internal, continuous lubrication oil passages with an optimized layout, ensuring stable lubrication even under high-speed operating conditions.
5. Manufactured to original factory specifications for direct replacement—no additional machining or modifications required.
