Cummins 0115-0573 Push Rod
Cummins 0115-0573 Push Rod
Product Description:
-
The Push Rod is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine’s valve train system, designed to transfer motion from the camshaft or lifter to the rocker arm, which then actuates the engine’s intake and exhaust valves.
-
It ensures precise valve timing and smooth operation, allowing efficient air-fuel intake and exhaust gas expulsion, which are vital for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.
-
Manufactured from high-strength, heat-treated steel or chromoly alloy, the push rod is built to withstand high stress, friction, and temperature inside the engine.
-
Its precision-machined design ensures accurate length, straightness, and rigidity, minimizing flex or bending during high-speed operation. Some push rods are hollow to allow oil flow for valve train lubrication, improving cooling and wear resistance.
-
Push rods are used in overhead valve (OHV) engines found in automotive, marine, agricultural, and industrial machinery. During engine rebuilds, camshaft replacements, or valve adjustments, proper push rod installation is essential for maintaining correct valve clearance and preventing engine damage.
