UPPERSTRUCTURE
Revolving Frame
Welded sturdy box construction, using heavy-gauge steel plates for ruggedness. D-section frame for resistance to deformation.
Swing Device
Axial piston motor with planetary reduction gear is bathed in oil. Swing circle is single-row, shear-type ball bearing with induction-hardened internal gear. Internal gear and pinion gear are immersed in lubricant. Swing parking brake is spring-set/hydraulic-released disc type.
| Swing speed | 10.5 min-1 (rpm) |
| Swing torque | 16.0 kNm (1 630 kgf m) |
Operator's Cab
Independent spacious cab, 1 065 mm wide by 1 655 mm high, conforming to ISO* Standards. Reinforced glass windows on 4 sides for visibility. Front windows (upper and lower) can be opened. Reclining seat with armrests; adjustable with or without control levers.
* International Standardization Organization
UNDERCARRIAGE
Tracks
Tractor-type undercarriage. Welded track frame using selected materials. Side frame welded to track frame. Lubricated track rollers, idlers, and sprockets with floating seals. Track shoes with triple grousers made of induction-hardened rolled alloy. Heat-treated connecting pins with dirt seals. Hydraulic (grease) track adjusters with shock-absorbing recoil springs.
Numbers of Rollers and Shoes on Each Side
| Upper rollers | 1 |
| Lower rollers | 5 |
| Track shoes | 40 |
Travel Device
Each track driven by 2-speed axial piston motor through planetary reduction gear for counterrotation of the tracks. Sprockets are replaceable. Parking brake is spring-set/hydraulic-released disc type. Travel shockless relief valve built in travel motor absorbs shocks when stopping travel. Automatic transmission system: High-Low.
