Designed for use within the engine’s crankcase, the
MAHLE Crankshaft Bearing allows for the efficient and reliable rotation of the crankshaft. This bearing offers reduced friction and enhanced durability, which leads to optimized engine performance. Manufactured in Brazil, this MAHLE bearing (MPN 061HL19078000) has dimensions of 395 x 320 x 395 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.
