Connecting Rod Bearing Set

This connecting rod bearing set from Kolbenschmidt provides essential support for the rotating assembly in your 6-cylinder engine. It functions as the critical interface between the connecting rods and the crankshaft to facilitate smooth operation. The set is specifically engineered to reduce friction and prevent direct contact between metal surfaces during intense engine cycles. By maintaining a precise oil film, these bearings ensure the crankshaft rotates freely while supporting the reciprocating motion of the pistons.

The technical specifications include a journal size of 50.00 mm. A defining feature of this set is the use of sputter technology on the rod side. Sputter bearings utilize a specialized coating process to apply a sliding layer that offers significantly higher wear resistance and load carrying capacity compared to standard materials. This makes the component particularly effective for engines that generate high combustion pressures and thermal loads. The design ensures the bearings can withstand significant mechanical stress and maintain stability under heavy duty conditions.

We offer this product from Kolbenschmidt with supplier code 77952600. The brand produces this component to meet precise engine requirements for durability and performance.
