5110B hydraulic system delivers efficient transfer of power from engine to bucket, tracks, and swing drives for smooth, multitasking operation.
Cat Proportional Priority Pressure Compensating (PPPC) hydraulic system assures smooth, efficient operation and controllability. Implements (boom, stick and bucket) work at a constant speed regardless of machine load and engine speed. When flow is required by more than one function at a time (boom up and stick out), automatic flow proportioning proportionally divides required flow for each function according to demand to ensure smooth, precise, multifunction operation.
Computer controlled pumps regulate and match hydraulic output to engine power for maximum engine hydraulic power transfer efficiency. Hydraulic system draws full engine power for precise, full-powered hydraulic response. Load sensing control prevents excessive engine lugging for superior fuel efficiency.
An optional auxiliary valve with control arrangement allows the 5110B L to operate high-pressure tools such as thumbs, hammers, shears and crushers. Flow settings can be adjusted to meet specific tool requirements. A separate medium pressure circuit is available for functions such as rotate.
Separate variable-capacity temperature-sensing hydraulic cooling system with dedicated core radiator provides cooling on demand to maximize hydraulic efficiency. Extra-large standard cooling capacity allows operation in ambient temperatures up to 50°C (122°F). Optional high ambient cooling package provides additional cooling in extremely hot conditions.
