Cummins 6BT Series Generator Engine Assembly


1.Assembly of Cylinder Block of Cummins 6BT Series generator engine

A.Before assemble, should clean cylinder block. All oil passages, main bearing holes, camshaft holes, tappet holes and screw holes shall not have burr edges, and shall be blown clean with compressed air. No foam, moulding sand and iron chips. Wash with gasoline and white silk cloth until the cylinder and other moving parts are cleaned by sticking machine oil with toilet paper. There is no dirt on toilet paper that the cleaning is qualified;

B.Press bowl plug into water jacket hole and main oil passage hole of cylinder block, before pressing, should uniformly smear GY-255 anaerobic adhesive on the surface of bowl-shaped plug cylinder;

C.Main bearing head and cylinder block must be paired and assembled. The chambered side of the main bearing cover (marked in sequence) faces the pump side. Each bolt hole of the main bearing cover has a positioning ring for location. Should keep the joint surface of bearing cap cleaned and wiped with non-woven or silk cloth;

D.In the course of delivery, should ensure the top, bottom and gear chamber surfaces of cylinder block are not damaged;

E.Press the flywheel positioning ring, cylinder head positioning ring and gear chamber positioning ring into the corresponding seat holes of the cylinder block with special tools, and the positioning ring should be pressed in place without deviation;

F.The installation position of the booster return pipe is at the lower right part of the cylinder block. Before assembly, should coat GY-255 anaerobic glue on the lower end of the return pipe, and press into the shoulder with special tools. The return pipe and the hole of the supercharger are in transitional coordination - 0.11mm-0.01mn.



2.Installation of tappet body

The fit clearance between the tappet body and the hole is 0.02mm to 0.065mm. Before assembling tappet, use 15W40 lubricating oil to lubricate the hole of cylinder block tappet, and use grease to lubricate bottom surface and inner socket of tappet body. The tappet body shall completely be located in the hole of tappet body, and can rotate freely.

3.Installation of crankshaft, gear and spindle bush

A.Firstly, check whether there are scratches or other defects on the surface of crankshaft journal. Install the positioning pin, the min protrusion of the positioning pin is 1.8mm. Before loading the gears, heat the gears in a furnace at 150 for 1 hour. Check the timing marks and defects situation of the gears. When installing, turn the chamfered side towards the crankshaft. After the gear is pressed into the crankshaft, it should be tightly attached to the crankshaft shoulder and checked with a 0.05mm plug ruler. It should not be stuffed into the crankshaft. Install the main bearing bush on the main bearing seat and the main bearing bush seat of the cylinder block;

B.Install crankshaft journal thrust bearing bush on the sixth main bearing. When installing, should use grease 105 to coat on bearing bush inner surface and thrust bush thrust surface and coat grease 15W40 on journal surface;

C.The clearance between crankshaft and hole is 0.041mm to 0.119mm. Before loading crankshaft into engine, the surface of journal, should clean carefully inclined oil passage and bearing seat. Sand inclusion and flying edge are not allowed on the non-machined surface of crankshaft.

4.Installation of piston and connecting rod

A.Check the cleanliness and defects situation of piston, connecting rod, piston pin and piston pin elastic ring. The clearance between piston pin and piston pin seat hole is 0.0028mm to 0.0172mm. Before assembly, piston can be heated to 50 ~ 70 (or not heated, assembled by matching method). When the piston's leading sign is upward, the connecting rod cover should be on the right side (from top to downward). The piston pin should be coated with 15W40 lubricant and then smoothly pushed into the piston pin hole and the connecting rod small head hole. The piston pin should be able to slide freely into the piston pin;

B.Piston ring assembly. Before installing the piston ring, brush the piston ring groove with a clean brush dipped in 15W40 lubricant.

5.Installation of gear chamber

A.Check the cleanliness of the mounting surface of the gear room or the defects caused during transportation;
B.Firstly, press the positioning pin into the positioning pin hole of the front end face of the cylinder block. Then, install gear chamber.

6.Installation of oil pump assembly

A.Check whether the oil pump and cylinder block are defective. Rotate the oil pump, check whether the oil pump can rotate freely;
B.Use 15W40 lubricating oil to lubricate engine oil pump;
C.Fill the lumen of oil pump with CD grade 15W40 oil.

7.Installation of Wheel Shaft and Tappet Body

A.Install camshaft gear. Before assembling, the gears should be kept warm for at least one hour in the furnace at 125 . When pressing the gears into the camshaft, it is necessary to ensure that the keys are aligned with the keyway and that the gears are close to the shoulder of the shaft. The gears should be inspected with a 0.05mm plug ruler and not be stuffed in;

B.Installation of camshaft. Before installing, use 15W40 lubricating oil to lubricate camshaft journal and cam peach.

8.Installation of timing pin seat and oil pump

A.Rotate the crankshaft, so that it is at the dead point on the cylinder. Check whether the timing mark on the crankshaft gear is aligned with the timing mark on the camshaft gear;

B.Install timing pin seat on mounting hole of gear room;

C.Check cleanliness and defects situation of oil pump and gasket, and check whether the manual rocker arm can swing freely.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list.

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading.  What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke .   ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction.   The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel.   The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition.   The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
