The IPDStyle™ Connecting Rod Bearings Capable Of High Load Carrying Capacity
This article has been supplied.
Failure of a connecting rod is one of the more common causes of catastrophic engine failure, more often than not rendering the engine irreparable.
The connecting rod bearings operate under tremendous stress from the reciprocating load represented by the piston in an engine. Access to new materials of construction has seen IPD Parts develop connecting rod bearings that offer a high load carrying capacity for extended heavy duty operation.
The IPDStyle™ connecting rod bearings, developed for the Caterpillar® 3500 series engines, are capable of withstanding a 19% higher load. Developed using a new advanced five layer alloy, these connecting rod bearings were subjected to a stringent test regime before being made available to the market.
The eccentricity specification of the connecting rod bearings creates an improved shape during loaded operation, and this provides improved cavitation resistance and enhanced durability.
Importantly IPD Parts are manufactured in a Lloyds accredited ISO 9001:2000 quality controlled environment in the USA that has been synonymous with quality, innovation and service since 1955. A comprehensive range of IPD Parts is available locally from Metric Automotive Engineering.
