Power Train ­ Engine The Cat 3176C EUI ATAAC diesel engine delivers the power and reliability necessary to perform in the most demanding underground mining applications. Designed for efficient operation, excellent fuel efficiency, lower emissions, reduced engine noise and lower operating costs. 4 ® Power Train ­ Transmission The Cat four-speed planetary power shift transmission features heavy duty components to handle the toughest jobs. [. . . ] Computer modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are used extensively throughout design. Strong steel frame structures are designed to resist twisting forces, torsional shock and stresses generated during the loading cycle, while protecting drive line and hydraulic system components. Lift Arms. Solid steel lift arms absorb high stresses generated during loading without sacrificing strength or durability. The linkage design offers excellent reach and dump clearance for better productivity. Lift arm support pins prevent lowering the lift arms during service and maintenance. The four plate loader tower provides a solid mount for lift arms, lift cylinders and Z-bar tilt linkage. The loader frame is designed and built to absorb twisting, impact and high loading forces. The cast steel cross tube provides excellent resistance to torsion and impact loads, keeping pin bores well aligned and extending component service life. Sealed Pins. Sealed colleted pins are fitted to all bucket and lift arm hinge points for longer pin and bushing life. This reduces maintenance costs and extends service intervals. The sealed joints retain lubrication and prevent contaminant entry. Spread hitch design widens the distance between upper and lower hitch plates to distribute forces and increase bearing life. The wide opening provides easy service access. Upper and lower hitch pins pivot on roller bearings to distribute horizontal and vertical loads over a greater surface area. Shim adjusted preload reduces maintenance time. An on-board steering frame lock pin is fitted to prevent articulation during maintenance and service. 7 Operator Station Setting a new industry standard for comfort and efficiency. Protective Structure. The operator station has integrated into its construction a ROPS ­ Roll-over protective structures and FOPS ­ Falling object protective structures. This structure is resiliently mounted to the frame, reducing vibration to the operator for a more comfortable ride. Optional soundsuppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet, secure working environment. Large window openings offer excellent visibility in all directions. Enclosed design provides fresh, pressurized, temperature-controlled air circulation with air-conditioned comfort and a more comfortable working environment. The system uses environmentally friendly R134a refrigerant. [. . . ] A secondary engine shutoff switch is located at ground level. Four corner oil-cooled braking system provides excellent control. The service brake system is actuated by modulated hydraulic pressure, while the parking brake function is spring applied and hydraulic released. This system assures braking in the event of hydraulic failure. [. . . ]
