MAN Maintenance-Free Valve Train for Industrial Engines

MAN Engines is launching a maintenance-free valve train for industrial engines.

• Features hydraulic valve lash adjuster which makes regular checking and adjustment of the valve train unnecessary
• Eliminates routine maintenance intervals and costs
• Balancing of valve clearance is carried out automatically by means of a hydraulic element on rocker arm
• Hydraulic valve lash adjuster replaces adjusting screws with which the valve clearance was previously adjusted manually, and ensures valve timing corresponds to optimum design timing of the engine
• Ensuring correct valve timing guarantees low and constant exhaust and consumption figures over entire product lifecycle
• Noise emissions due to valve clearance are prevented, resulting in smoother engine operation 
• Elimination of disassembly and maintenance work prevents transfer of deposits and dirt into the engine
• Frees up space above the cylinder head to be used more efficiently
