1698136 Bearing Shield | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta bearing shield for the starting system, supporting the starter armature shaft and enclosing that end of the motor. It is listed for TWD1630 series, TID162 series and TAMD engines. A worn bearing shield lets the armature run off-centre, which quickly damages other starter components.

⚙️ Key Features

• Starter end shield / bearing support component
• Locates the starter armature bearing
• Protects the bearing and internal electrical components
• Used in the same starter family as pinion 1697786
• Requires inspection of the bearing, shaft and housing during replacement
• Engine type: Volvo Penta 16-litre diesel

🔌 Function

The bearing shield carries the bearing or bush that supports one end of the starter armature, holding it concentric within the motor. It also closes that end of the housing against dirt and moisture ingress.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Noisy, rough or rumbling starter operation
• Armature end-float or radial play felt at the shaft
• Worn, ovalled or scored bearing bore
• Cracked or distorted shield casting
• Water or debris ingress causing internal corrosion

🛠️ Service Notes

• Serves the same high-current 16-litre starter as pinion 1697786 and brush retainer 1697804 — a worn or displaced shield lets the armature run off-centre and quickly damages the bearing, bushes and brushes together
• Check the bearing or bush it carries for roughness or play before refitting, and renew the seal at the housing joint rather than reusing it
