Maintenance for Piston and Connecting Rod of Cummins 100kW Generator

The increase in the service life of Cummins 100KW diesel generator set accessories is not only related to the overall maintenance of the equipment, but also greatly related to the maintenance of various internal components. As the saying goes, good details determine victory or defeat. If the internal parts of the Cummins 100KW diesel generator set equipment are properly maintained, it will involve the disassembly of the unit parts. Therefore, Dingbo Power specifically talks about the disassembly of the Cummins 100KW diesel generator set plug and connecting rod assembly.

The piston connecting rod group converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, and converts the force acting on the piston into the external output torque of the crankshaft to drive the unit to rotate. It is the transmission part of the engine, which transmits the pressure of combustion gases to the crankshaft, causing it to rotate and output power.

Disassembly steps for the piston connecting rod assembly of Cummins 100kW diesel generator set:

Step 1: Clean the engine block. Clean the engine block with a cloth and wire brush, and blow it clean with compressed air.

Step 2: Turn over the engine, select a ring wrench to turn the crankshaft, and turn the piston corresponding to the connecting rod to be removed to the bottom dead center.

Step 3: Use a torque wrench to remove the connecting rod nut.

Step 4: Using a plastic hammer, gently tap the connecting rod bolts, remove the connecting rod bearing cap, and install the lower bearing (bearing shell) into the connecting rod cap.

Step 5: Use a short hose to cover the connecting rod bolt to prevent damage to the crankshaft. Use a plastic or wooden tool to remove the cylinder block. Push out the piston, connecting rod assembly, and upper bearing from above and place them in order.

The disassembly of the piston and connecting rod assembly of the Cummins 100kW diesel generator set naturally requires much more care. It requires regular maintenance, and if the unit fails, it cannot be used, shortening its lifespan. Generally, do not easily disassemble the piston connecting rod assembly of Volvo diesel generator sets, as any disassembly and subsequent assembly may damage the working state of the unit. If disassembly is necessary, the scope of disassembly should also be minimized to ensure maintenance quality.
