Serving as a vital part of the engine’s crankcase, the
MAHLE Crankshaft Bearing minimizes friction between the crankshaft and the engine block. This bearing, identified by MPN 001HL10220000, is manufactured in Slovakia to ensure high quality and reliability. Its 170 x 275 x 380 mm dimensions guarantee a precise fit, contributing to extended engine life and improved efficiency. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions.
Crankshaft bearings are precision components facilitating smooth rotary motion between the crankshaft and engine block. Located within the engine’s main and connecting rod bearing bores, these bearings support significant loads and reduce friction generated by reciprocating piston motion. Typically manufactured from tri-metal or polymer-coated steel, they feature a split design for ease of installation and precise clearance control. Oil grooves and channels within the bearing surface maintain a hydrodynamic oil wedge, preventing metal-to-metal contact. Dimensional accuracy and material hardness are critical for maintaining engine performance and longevity, with variations existing for different engine families and load requirements.
