| Power Train |
3126B HEUI meets EPA Tier 2 and EU Stage II exhaust emission regulations and offers excellent performance levels. |
| |
| Cat 3126B HEUI Engine. |
Caterpillar electronic engines meet worldwide exhaust emission requirements for the EPA Tier 2 and the EU Stage 11 regulations. With the HEUI fuel system, injection pressure is independent of engine speed and provides maximum fuel delivery efficiency with low emissions.
The Cat 3126B engines are equipped with an electronic air inlet heater. This warms the air in the air inlet manifold for easier starting and reduces white smoke on cold starts. Machines will automatically activate the timed air inlet heater prior to engine startup.
|
| |
Turbocharged and Aftercooled. |
|
|
|
A wellmatched turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooler results in higher power while keeping rpm steady and exhaust temperatures low.
Torque Rise. The direct injected electronic fuel system provides a controlled fuel delivery increase as the engine lugs back from rated speed. This results in increased horsepower above rated power. A combination of increased torque rise and maximum horsepower improves response, provides greater drawbar pull and faster dozing cycles. The 89 kW (119 hp) maximum flywheel power occurs at 1800 rpm when horse power is needed during the dozing work cycle. |
| |
 |
Rated flywheel power 86 kW (115 hp). |
|

Structure |
Engineered and built to give solid support in the most demanding applications. Designed to last throughout the extended service life of the D5N.
|
| |
| |
| Frame and Castings |
The D5N case and frames are built to absorb high impact shock loads and torsional forces. Castings are strategically located within the frame to add additional strength. Caterpillar uses robotic welding techniques in the assembly of the case and frames. This insures quality and reliability throughout the structure. The one piece all welded chassis provides superior strength over bolted designs, and provides stiffness and durability over the life of the machine.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
High strength steel mainframe resists impact shock loads. |
|
Computer-aided finite element analysis is used to evaluate and ensure high durability of the chassis by computer modeling it and identifying high stress area. |
|
Full scale structural testing to test integrity of the structures. |
|
Robotic welding provides deep penetration and consistency for long life, and reduces the chance for errors which may be made during manual welding.
|
|

|
| |
| Undercarriage Arrangements |
XL (Extra Long) arrangement |
|
Forward idler position provides more track on the ground and to the front of the tractor. It provides optimal balance, superior traction and blade control for finish grading. |
|
Long roller frame also improves flotation in soft underfoot conditions.LGP (Low Ground Pressure) arrangement |
|
Specially designed to work in soft and spongy conditions. |
|
Wide track shoes, long track frames and a wider gauge increase track contact area and reduce ground pressure for excellent flotation. |
|
| |
Rotating Bushing Track |
Rotating Bushing Track is designed to extend system life and lower costs in highly abrasive low to moderate impact applications. RBT features bushings that rotate when in contact with the sprocket. Since the bushing rotates when in contact with the sprocket, relative motion between the bushing and the sprocket is virtually eliminated, greatly reducing bushing and sprocket wear. The minimal bushing wear that occurs is evenly distributed over the bushing. This design eliminates bushing turn maintenance expense and sprocket replacement costs. Rotating Bushing Track is available as optional undercarriage.
|
|
|
|
| |
