Power Train – Transmission
Cat mechanical power train delivers more power to the ground for greater productivity and lower operating costs.


Mechanical Power Train. The Cat mechanical drive power train and power shift transmission provides unmatched operating efficiency and control on steep grades, in poor underfoot conditions, and on haul roads with
high rolling resistance.

1) Transmission. The Cat six-speed planetary power shift transmission is matched with the direct-           injection 3516B HD diesel engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating                speeds.

Robust Design. Designed for the higher horsepower of the 3516B HD engine, the proven planetary    power shift transmission is built tough for long life between overhauls.

Long Life. A dedicated oil tank and circuit provides cooler, cleaner oil for maximum performance      and longer component life.

Transmission Chassis Control (TCC). TCC uses electronically transferred engine rpm data to          execute shifts at preset points for optimum performance, efficiency and clutch life.


2) Lock-Up Torque Converter. Combines maximum rimpull and cushioned shifting of torque                converter drive with the efficiency and performance of direct drive. The lock-up torque converter        engages at approximately 8 km/h (5 mph), delivering more power to the wheels.


* Lock-Up Clutch. Quickly releases and re-engages to reduce power train torque loads for smoother     shifting, long life and a more comfortable ride.

* Smooth Shifting. Individual clutch modulation provides smooth clutch engagements to optimize         performance and extend clutch life.

3) Final Drives. Cat final drives work as a system with the planetary power shift transmission to            deliver maximum power to the ground. Built to withstand the forces of high torque and impact            loads, double reduction final drives provide high torque multiplication to further reduce drive train      stress.

Rear Axle Filtration. A new filtration system provides cooler, cleaner oil for longer component        life.

• Steering System. Hydraulic steering control system is designed for exceptional smoothness and          precise control. A separate circuit prevents cross contamination for long life.

• Supplemental Steering. Supplemental steering system uses pressure accumulators and allows up to    three 90 degree turns in case of engine failure.

• Wheels and Rims. Cast rear wheels and Cat center-mount rims are mounted using studs and nuts to     minimize maintenance and maximize durability.

Structures
Rugged Cat structures are the backbone of the 793D mining truck’s durability.


Box-Section Design. The 793D frame uses a box-section design, incorporating two forgings and 24 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 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 dissipate stress in areas of high stress concentration. Castings move welds to lower stress areas for greater frame life.


Integral Four-Post ROPS Cab. Resiliently mounted to the main frame to reduce vibration and sound, the integral ROPS is designed as an extension of the truck frame. The ROPS/FOPS structure provides “five sided protection” for
the operator.

Suspension System. Designed to dissipate haul road and loading impacts for longer frame life and a more comfortable ride.

* Cylinders. Four independent self- contained, oil pneumatic, variable- rebound suspension cylinders    are designed to absorb shocks in the most severe applications.

* Durable Design. Rugged cylinders utilize large diameter bore and low pressure nitrogen/oil design for long life with minimal maintenance.

* Front. Front cylinders with preset caster and camber are mounted to the frame and serve as steering kingpins for a tight turning radius with excellent maneuverability and low maintenance

* Rear. Rear cylinders allow axle oscillation and absorb bending and twisting stresses caused by uneven and rough haul roads rather than transmitting them to the main frame.


Engine/Power Train Integration
Electronically combines critical power train components to work more intelligently and optimize overall truck performance.


Cat Data Link. Electronically integrates machine computer systems to optimize overall power train performance, increase reliability and component life, and reduce operating costs

Controlled Throttle Shifting. Regulates engine rpm during shifting to reduce power train stress and clutch wear
by controlling engine speed, torque converter lock-up and transmission clutch engagement for smoother shifts and longer component life

Directional Shift Management. Regulates engine speed during directional shifts to prevent damage caused by
high speed directional changes.

Neutral Coast Inhibitor. Prevents transmission from shifting to neutral at speeds above 6.5 km/h (4 mph) to
protect the transmission from operating with insufficient lubrication.

Body-up Reverse Neutralizer. Automatically shifts the transmission to neutral if the hoist lever is activated while transmission is shifted in reverse.
Programmable Top Gear. Transmission top gear maximum can be set using
the Cat ET service tool to help the operator maintain speed limits.

Anti-Hunt Function. Minimizes shifting by not allowing the transmission to up or down shift immediately after a shift has occurred. This prevents gear hunting when operating near a shift point and minimizes transmission shifting for increased component life.

Downshift Inhibitor. Prevents engine overspeeding by keeping the transmission from downshifting until engine speed reaches the downshift point.

Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Cat ET service tool provides service technicians with easy access to stored diagnostic  data through the Cat Data Link to simplify problem diagnosis and increase machine availability

Body-up Shift Inhibitor. Prevents the transmission from shifting above the pre-programmed gear without the body fully lowered.

Overspeed Protection. The transmission control electronically senses engine conditions and automatically up-shifts one gear to prevent overspeeding.
If overspeeding occurs in top gear, the lock-up clutch is disengaged.

Hydraulic Power Management System
The system, also known as common rail hydraulics, reduces parasitic (unused, wasted) losses in the power management system components and the new hydraulic fan drive system. The system is operated by two new variable displacement piston pumps.
These pumps primarily provide for
the steering and cooling functions, and are independent of the brake and hoist circuit. One pump is dedicated to a new on-demand hydraulic fan drive system

The other pump feeds a new priority
valve and provides hydraulic pressure and flow to feed steering, brake cooling, rear axle filtration (RAX), and the optional RAX cooler systems. The system continues to allow priority for the steering system while using an improved power management scheme for brake cooling and RAX functions.
By reducing the losses, the system is able to provide more horsepower to the ground.

Caterpillar Brake System
Reliable braking with superior control gives the operator the confidence to focus on productivity.

Integrated Braking System. The Cat oil-cooled braking system delivers reliable performance and control in the most extreme haul road conditions. The integrated system combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions in the same robust
system for optimum braking efficiency.

Cat Data Link. All control modules communicate via the Cat Data Link and work together as an integrated system to maximize production efficiency and extend component life.

Oil-Cooled Multiple Disc Brakes. Caterpillar four-wheel, forced oil-cooled, multiple disc service brakes are continuously cooled by water-to-oil heat exchangers for exceptional, non- fade braking and retarding performance.

Extended Life Disc Brakes. Extended life friction material has double the wear life of standard brakes and is twice as resistant to glazing for more consistent braking power with less noise.

Brake Design. Cat oil-cooled disc brakes are designed with large discs and plates for reliable, adjustment-free operation and performance. Brakes are completely enclosed and sealed to prevent contamination and reduce maintenance

Long Life. An oil film prevents direct contact between the discs. This design absorbs the braking forces by shearing the oil molecules and carrying heat away to extend brake life.

Pistons. The Caterpillar two-piece piston design combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions in the same system. The primary piston hydraulically actuates both service and retarding functions. The secondary piston is spring-applied and held in the disengaged position by hydraulic pressure. If hydraulic system pressure drops below a specified level, the spring-applied secondary piston automatically applies the brakes.

Parking Brake. Oil-cooled, spring- applied, hydraulically released parking brake is applied to all four wheels for superior parking capability on all grades up to 15 percent.

Hydraulic Automatic Retarder Control (HARC). Hydraulically activated automatic retarder control system electronically controls retarding on grade to maintain optimum engine rpm and oil cooling. Additional braking may be applied using the manual retarder or the brake pedal. HARC is deactivated when the operator applies the brake or accelerator controls.



HARC vs. ARC.

• Less chance for engine overspeed

• Smoother engagement

• No loping

• Less air system demand

• Reduces operating costs.

Four Corner Retarding. Four corne retarding with 60/40 percent split (rear/front) in braking effort provides superior control in slippery conditions. Balanced front to rear brake torque provides exceptional braking performance and minimizes wheel lock-up, especially during retarding

Traction Control System (TCS). Electronically monitors and controls rear wheel slippage for greater traction and enhanced truck performance in poor underfoot conditions. If slippage exceeds a set limit, the oil-cooled disc brakes engage to slow the spinning wheel. Torque is then automatically transferred to the wheel with better traction.

Differential Action. Normal differential action provides superior maneuvering and control in slippery conditions.

Integrated Braking Control (IBC). Combines Hydraulic Automatic Retarder Control (HARC) and Traction Control System (TCS) into one integrated brake control system for optimum efficiency, performance and reliability.

Fuel Efficiency. The engine provides additional retarding by running against
compression on downhill hauls. During retarding applications the engine ecm does not inject fuel into the cylinders for exceptional fuel economy.

Dimensions
All dimensions are approximate. Shown with MSD II Body. Dimensions are with Dual Slope Body.




Retarding Performance – Standard

To determine retarding performance: Add lengths of all downhill segments and, using this total, refer to proper retarding chart. Read from gross weight down to the percent effective grade. Effective grade equals actual % grade minus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From this weight-effective grade point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum descent speed brakes can properly handle without exceeding.

cooling capacity. The following charts are based on these conditions: 32° C (90° F) ambient temperature, at sea level, with 40.00R57 tires.

NOTE: Select the proper gear to maintain engine rpm at the highest possible level, without overspeeding the engine. If cooling oil overheats, reduce ground speed to allow transmission to shift to the next lower speed range.




Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull.
To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From this weight-resistance point, read
horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
