Crankshaft Gear
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Crankshaft Gear, also known as the Timing Gear, is an essential component of a commercial truck's engine. This gear is responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct time. The Crankshaft Gear is typically made of high-strength steel and is designed to withstand the extreme forces and temperatures generated by the engine. The Crankshaft Gear is a critical component of the engine's timing system, and any issues with this part can lead to serious engine damage. If the Crankshaft Gear fails, the engine's valves may open and close at the wrong time, causing the pistons to collide with the valves and potentially causing catastrophic engine failure. Regular maintenance and inspection of the Crankshaft Gear is essential to ensure that it is functioning properly and to prevent costly engine repairs.
