Overview – Core Rod Conn 3640518DC
3640518DC is the core rod connector used on CUMMINS QSK45 and QSK60 engine installations, providing the connection between the core rod and the actuated component in the specified system. We can supply this connector as well as related CUMMINS components, in stock or available on order – welcome to enquire by part number.
Parts Characteristics
The connector is machined to the original length, thread and engagement specification, sized to the QSK45/60 application. The material provides the required strength for the actuation load, and the threads are cut to gauge for a positive connection. The bearing or pivot surfaces are finished to the original tolerance, and the connector accepts the standard service tools. As an OEM-spec connector, it restores the designed mechanical link.
Applicable Models & Applications
This connector is used on CUMMINS QSK45 and QSK60 engine installations at the specified core rod connection point, covering construction, mining, industrial and generator applications powered by these engine families. Confirm the thread size, length and the connected components against the connector removed from your engine before ordering.
Maintenance & Replacement
Inspect the connector for thread wear, bending and loose engagement during scheduled service. A worn or damaged connector allows play in the actuated system, affecting its response. When replacing, clean the threads of both ends, apply the specified lubricant, and tighten to the correct torque. Verify the connected component operates through its full range after installation and check for abnormal play.
