Crankshaft for International DT360

The crankshaft 1809953C91 is a central component within the International DT360 engine assembly. Its primary function is to convert the linear, reciprocating motion of the engine pistons into the rotational motion required to drive the machine's drivetrain and hydraulic systems. This component features precision-machined connecting rod journals and integrated counterweights designed to maintain dynamic balance during engine operation.

This part is specifically engineered for fitment in the International DT360 engine. The crankshaft includes specific bearing surfaces that require proper clearance and lubrication to maintain engine performance and prevent premature wear of the connecting rod and main bearings. It is designed to withstand the operational torque and mechanical stresses generated during the combustion cycle.

In internal combustion engines, the crankshaft acts as the backbone of the rotating assembly. It transfers power from the pistons through the connecting rods to the flywheel and transmission. Proper alignment and surface finish of the journals are necessary to ensure the oil film remains intact under load, allowing for smooth rotation and efficient power delivery across the operating range of the engine.
