All vehicles with internal combustion engines under the hood are equipped with this mechanism. This part is specific to the make of the engine itself and not to the model of vehicle. During operation, the crankshaft is coupled to the structure of the internal combustion engine in which it is installed. When replacing it, mechanics always look for crankshaft wear as a possible cause. The mechanics at AWHelp24's international helpdesk give truck drivers 4 important tips to extend the life of the crankshaft:
-Fill oil into the engine (according to the manufacturer's specifications);
-Use oil with the correct specification, do not fill contaminated or used oil;
-Avoid contaminating the engine oil with coolant or fuel;
-Avoid faults in the oil circuit that cause oil pressure problems (e.g. faulty oil pump, faulty oil pressure regulator, faulty oil reducer).
However, the causes of crankshaft failure are rarely due to material fatigue after prolonged use. The most common causes of crankshaft defects are:
-mechanical overload of the crankshaft due to malfunctions in the combustion process, hydraulic shocks, etc.;
-unexpected engine blockage due to a defective gearbox;
-excessive torsional vibrations, e.g. due to defective dampers, flywheels or clutches;
-weak material after previous bearing damage or melted main journals etc.;
-unauthorised reworking of crankshaft bearings;
-mechanical shaft damage prior to installation.
