Overview – DAMPER, VIBRAT 4017160
Engineered for Cummins engine front-end and crankshaft as the vibration damper, the Cummins DAMPER, VIBRAT 4017160 meets the tolerances your equipment was designed around.
Parts Characteristics
A vibration damper (harmonic balancer) that absorbs the torsional pulses of the crankshaft, protecting the snout and the front accessories from fatigue. It sets the front-end truth, so a true, un-separated damper keeps the crank from cracking and the belts tracking.
Applicable Models & Applications
Used on Cummins engines specifying this vibration damper. Match the diameter, pulley pattern and balance against your old damper – dampers differ in how they drive and balance.
Maintenance & Replacement
Inspect the damper for a separated ring, weep at the snout and belt-face wear at every front-end service. A damper that has come apart throws the balance, and an out-of-balance crank cracks itself.
Replace the damper together with the front seal where the job calls for it. A new damper onto a leaking seal still weeps, and the weep tracks into the belt.
Confirm the damper is balanced to the engine before fitting. A damper a few grams off destroys the snout within hours, and the snout is the expensive part of the front end.
Keep the correct vibration dampers for your engine on the shelf. They are load-critical, and an engine stopped on a damper is a machine waiting on a part that ships in a box.
