How to determine SAE housing and flywheel sizes?
How to determine SAE housing and flywheel sizes?
The following graphic shows the typical configuration and their respective SAE denomination: To determine the SAE adaption in your specific application, simply match dimensions XD, XB, XE, XF and XG to arrive at a combination of SAE adaptions for the engine housing and for the engine flywheel, i.e.: SAE#1 Flywheel Housing with SAE#14 Flywheel.
How big is the flywheel housing on a Perkins engine?
The SAE flywheel housing sizes are 00, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. In the Perkins engine range for example, the smallest engine we supply is a 9kVA. This engine uses the SAE 5 flywheel housing. Here is a table of the housings and the respective sizes, in mm and the tapped hole sizes in inches (a metric bolt won’t fit in the holes!)
Where are the flywheels located on a diesel engine?
The flywheel housing is static ans sits around the outside of the flywheel. The flywheel is the part of the engine that spins and transmits the power to the alternator. Rather than everybody having different flywheel sizes, this standard breaks down the sizes into numerical values and therefore the choices into far more limited numbers.
How can I tell what flywheel my motor has?
The best way to tell what flywheel your motor has is to simply count the number of teeth on it. From there, one can look for casting numbers to further identify the flywheel. There is a specific bellhousing for each flywheel as well.
What is the SAE for a flywheel housing?
Rather than everybody having different flywheel sizes, this standard breaks down the sizes into numerical values and therefore the choices into far more limited numbers. These are expressed as two numbers, for example SAE 00 / 18, where the first number is the flywheel housing and the second is the flywheel.

How big are the holes in a flywheel?
What are the flywheel sizes? The largest flywheel size is SAE 21 and the smallest 6 1/2. Al diemnsions in mm except hole size is in inches, as these are bolt sizes (again, a metric bolt won’t fit in the holes!)
