G oup: engine – crankshaft
Ref: Crankshaft
Dear Sirs,
In order to reduce the possibility of damage to the drive
when the engine is greatly overloaded the fatigue strength
of the crankshaft under repeated bending stress has been
increased at the following models
R 50/5 upwards of chassis no. 2 964 190
R 60/5 upwards of chassis no. 2 940 740
R 75/5 upwards of chassis no. 2 985 208
by taking the following steps.
1. Change over to different material, from CK 45 N to 41
CR4 V 80.
2. Increasing the radius at the joint oft.he connectingrod
seat and the crank webs from 0.062 11 + 0.015” to
.c–<, 0.086 11 + 0.015".
As a result of the increased radius the inner chamfers of
the bearing shells had to be widened from 0.023'' x 45ยฐ to
0.047" + 0.07 x 30ยฐ; the order numbers 11 24 1 250 197,
11 24 1 251 052 (-0.25), 11 24 1 251 053 (-0.50), 11 24 1
255 294 (0.75) for the bearing shells remain the same.

Whereas the new bearing shells can be used together with
the old crankshafts it is on no account possible to couple
new crankshafts ~1th the old bearing shells.
To obviate any errors the total stock of old bearing shells
should be sent to the importer for scrapping. The importer
will inform division VS-112 of the number of bearing shells
scrapped upon completion of the action so that the necessary
credit can be given.
Yours truly
