038PS20862000 MAHLE Connecting Rod Bearing Set

Designed for use in the engine’s crankcase, this MAHLE Connecting Rod Bearing Set provides a low-friction surface between the connecting rod and crankshaft. These bearings are essential for efficient engine performance. Precision engineering minimizes wear and tear, resulting in a longer engine life and optimized power output. Manufactured in Slovakia, this set is identified by MPN 038PS20862000 and measures 170 x 275 x 380 mm. 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.
