Crankshaft

What are the product advantages of the Mercedes-Benz Genuine Remanufactured crankshaft?

The genuine crankshaft as a remanufactured part is extensively repaired with maximum precision. It is as a genuine remanufactured part optimally adapted to the remaining engine components and allows for a sensitive and comfortable driving performance. During the remanufacturing of the crankcase and crankshafts, cambers between 2 and 4 µm at the main and connecting rod bearings must, for example, be complied with. For this reason, particular importance is attached in the Mercedes-Benzremanufacturing process to the highest quality standards.

How does a crankshaft work in a Mercedes-Benz van?

A crankshaft is a special shaft with integrated cranks and is used in particular in piston machines. It is mounted in the crankcase and is supplemented by the main and connecting rod bearings together with the crank webs and balance weights. The purpose of the crankshaft is to absorb piston forces transmitted via the connecting rod, convert them into torque and transfer the product to the transmission via the clutch. The component parts required for converting one movement type into the other together result in the crank assembly.
