Description
Overview:
This Big End Bearing (Shells) pair is a genuine Hatz component for the 1B20 and 1B30 single-cylinder diesel engines. Supplied as two semi-circular shells, it supports the crankshaft journal at the connecting rod, maintaining the correct running clearance and reducing metal-to-metal contact. Manufactured to Hatz OEM standards (MPN 01575700), the shells are steel-backed with an anti-friction bearing alloy overlay for durability and stable oil film formation. Correctly fitted big end shells help minimise wear, reduce frictional losses, and maintain consistent oil pressure, which supports smooth engine operation and long service life in compact plant and machinery commonly used on site and in workshops. Genuine Hatz parts ensure dimensional accuracy and material quality for reliable fit and function.
Key Features:
- Genuine Hatz part (MPN 01575700) for assured compatibility and quality
- Supplied as a matched pair of shells for one connecting rod journal
- Steel-backed construction with anti-friction bearing layer for durability and stable lubrication
- Precision tolerances help maintain correct oil clearance and protect the crankpin
- Designed for Hatz 1B20 and 1B30 engines used in compact plant and industrial equipment
- Smooth running reduces friction and heat, supporting engine efficiency and longevity
- Robust build for demanding duty cycles and frequent start-stop operation
- Straightforward replacement during engine overhaul or scheduled maintenance (observe torque and cleanliness)
Typical Applications:
Used during engine rebuilds, bottom-end refreshes, or when diagnosing low oil pressure or audible big-end knock. Common on compactors/plates, generators, pumps, concrete equipment, mixers, and light machinery powered by Hatz 1B-series engines. Suitable for maintaining reliable crankshaft support in industrial, agricultural, construction, and hire fleet environments.
