061PL21708000 MAHLE Connecting Rod Bearing

MAHLE's Engine Bearings are connecting rod bearings designed to withstand the demands of engine operation. Used in crankshafts, these bearings provide technical benefits such as reduced wear on other parts and improved durability due to their high-quality material. Produced in Brazil, this bearing has dimensions (46.0 x 72.0 x 115.0 mm) that make it versatile for various applications. 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.
