Power Train – Engine The Cat® C15 engine with ACERT™ Technology is built for power, reliability and efficiency for superior performance in the toughest applications. Overhead Cam. A single overhead cam is driven by gears on the front of the engine, which significantly reduce noise and vibration. Caterpillar also has added two pendulum absorbers, mounted at the front of the camshafts to further reduce noise and vibration. Pistons, Connecting Rods, Cylinder Liners. New design and material improvements to the pistons, rods and liners have been made to support the higher cylinder pressures and...

Turbochargers. The single, waste-gated turbocharger found on the C15 engine is water-cooled to accommodate sudden hot machine shutdowns. Water cools the bearings during this event, preventing bearing seizure. The C15 engine also includes a new turbine housing and an additional spacer bearing. The addition of a spacer bearing eliminates snap rings and, therefore, reduces complexity and improves shaft motion. The turbocharger uses an aluminum compression wheel. Changes enable the C15 to deliver longer life and lower maintenance costs and contribute to good fuel economy. The design also...

New A-Frame. The new A-frame mounts directly to the spindles. The new A-frame eliminates the “king” bolt and includes a pin and bushing style mounting, consistent with the 777 and 793. This new design is simpler to maintain and service. New Ductile Iron Spindles. A stressoptimized, ductile iron spindle is splined to the rear brakes, reducing brake pack rebuild time by up to two hours. In addition, the spindles are longer and wider with fewer seals for increased strength and durability. Brake Packs. A single-piece brake anchor eliminates more than 200 fasteners and a row of bolted joints....

Structures Rugged Cat structures are the backbone of the 770 off-highway truck’s durability. Box-Section Design. The 770 frame uses a box-section design, incorporating two forgings and 13 castings in high-stress areas with deep penetrating and continuous wrap-around welds to resist damage from twisting loads without adding extra weight. • Steel Structures. Mild steel used throughout the frame provides flexibility, durability and resistance to impact loads, even in cold climates and allows for easy field repairs. • Castings. Castings have large radii with internal reinforcing ribs to...

Body-up Shift Limiter. Prevents the transmission from shifting above a preprogrammed gear without the body being fully lowered. This function is programmable via Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) and Messenger. Body-up Reverse Neutralizer. Automatically shifts the transmission to neutral if the hoist lever is activated while the transmission is shifted in reverse. Overspeed Protection. The transmission control electronically senses engine conditions and automatically up-shifts one gear to prevent overspeeding. If overspeeding occurs in the top gear, the lock-up clutch is disengaged, and...
