Benefits & Features
Engine
Engine
The Cat 3508B Diesel Engine is a four-stroke design that uses long, effective power strokes for more complete fuel combustion and optimum efficiency.
Torque Rise
The 23% torque rise provides high lugging force during acceleration and less down-shifting on grade or in high rimpull conditions.
Electronic Unit Injector (EUI)
The Electronic Unit Injector (EUI) is a proven high-pressure, direct injection fuel system. This system electronically monitors operator and sensor inputs to optimize engine performance.
Deep Crater Piston And Low Crevice Volume
Deep crater piston and low crevice volume provide a more efficient combustion.
Separate Circuit Aftercooling (SCAC)
Separate Circuit Aftercooling (SCAC) allows the aftercooler circuit to operate cooler than the jacket water temperature for denser air charge and improved combustion.
Proven Reliability and Durability
Proven reliability and durability by electronically protecting the engine during cold starts, high altitude operation, and operation with plugged air filters.
Easier Maintenance and Repair
Easier maintenance and repair through monitoring key functions and logging critical indicators. Electronic diagnostic access is possible with a single tool, the Electronic Technician (ET).
Power Train
Powershift Transmission
The Cat seven-speed powershift transmission, matched with the direct-injection Cat 3508B diesel engine, provides constant power over a wide operating speed range for maximum efficiency.
Lock-Up Torque Converter
The lock-up torque converter combines the maximum rimpull and cushioned shifting of torque converter drive with the efficiency and performance of direct drive.
Planetary Powershift Transmission
The seven-speed, planetary powershift transmission utilizes a pressure valve to regulate clutch pressure rise and fall to ease clutch engagement. This reduces shock loads on power train components.
Final Drive
Final drives and differential torque multiplication of 19.16:1 further reduces stress on the drive train.
Drive Shaft
The transmission is mounted directly to the rear axle housing, so the 777D requires only one drive shaft and one set of U-joints.
Full Floating Axles
Full floating axles are shot peened to relieve internal stresses and increase durability. Rolled splines also provide increased service life.
Removable Final Drives
Removable final drives and wheel groups improve serviceability for decreased downtime.
Cast Rear Wheels and Cat Center-Mount Rims
Cast rear wheels and Cat center-mount rims are mounted using studs and nuts (not wedge-mounts) to minimize maintenance and provide outstanding durability.
Engine/Power Train Integration
Caterpillar Exclusive Electronic Integration
The Caterpillar exclusive electronic intergration optimizes overall power train performance, reliability and component life for reduced power train operating costs.
Cat Data Link
The CAT Data Link electronically integrates the machine's computer systems, which allows communications.
Improved Diagnostics/ Serviceability
The electronic engine and transmission controls provide enhanced diagnostic capability. The ability to store both active and intermittent indicators will simplify problem diagnosis and total repair time, resulting in improved Mechanical availability and lower operating cost.
Electronic Monitoring System (EMS II)
The Electronic Monitoring System (EMS II) allows the operator to view requested information and utilizes a three-category warning system to alert the operator to abnormal machine conditions.
Automatic Retarder Control (ARC)
Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) works with the other electronic components to automatically control retarding on grade while maintaining safe engine rpm.
Traction Control System
Traction control system (TCS) improves performance in poor underfoot conditions by electronically monitoring and controlling wheel slippage.
Integrated Brake Controller (IBC)
The Integrated Brake Controller (IBC) combines ARC and TCS, reducing the number of electronic components and electrical lines.
Oil-cooled Rear Disc Brakes
Oil-cooled Rear Disc Brakes
Caterpillar forced oil-cooled, multiple disc brakes are continuously cooled for exceptional, non-fade braking and retarding.
Oil-cooled Disc Brakes
Oil-cooled disc brakes are designed and built for reliable, adjustment-free operation providing superior performance and service life in comparison to shoe-type and dry-disc systems.
Oil Film
An oil film prevents direct contact between the discs. This absorbs the braking forces by shearing oil and carrying heat away, extending brake life.
Caterpillar Patented, Two-Piston Design
A Caterpillar patented, two-piston design combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions.
Front Oil Cooled Brakes (option)
Front oil cooled brakes are optional. Provides superior braking and handling in slippery underfoot conditions. Splits braking requirements between two axles to improve traction. Longer downhill hauls benefit from reduced rebuild frequency.
Cat Retarding System
The Retarding System has an intermittent rating of 1864 kW (2500 hp) and a continuous rating of 895 kW (1200 hp).
Automatic Retarder Control/ARC (Optional)
Engine Overspeed Protection
ARC will automatically activate when engine speed exceeds factory preset levels, regardless of other operator inputs, including when the system is turned "off", to help protect the engine from overspeed damage.
Increased Operating Efficiency
ARC results in increased operating efficiency with faster downhill speeds. By maintaining consistently higher engine speeds, average truck speed will be higher than a manually controlled truck.
Excellent Controllability and Reduced Operator Effort
ARC results in excellent controllability and reduced operator effort. Automatic brake modulation provides a smoother ride, better control in slippery conditions and allows the operator to focus more on truck operation.
Improved Component Life
ARC results in improved component life from reduced torque and temperature fluctuations in the brake system.
Faster Troubleshooting and Diagnosis
ARC results in faster troubleshooting and diagnosis with self-diagnostic capability and the ability to communicate with ET through the CAT Data Link System.
Traction Control System
Monitors Wheel Slip
If wheel slip exceeds the set limit, the oil-cooled disc brakes are automatically applied to slow the spinning wheel.
Provides Operator Awareness
Provides operator awareness through an in-dash indicator, signifying TCS is engaged.
Utilizes Normal Differential Action
Utilizes normal differential action to provide superior maneuvering in poor underfoot conditions. Reduces tire scuffing when compared to positive lock differentials used on other systems.
Divides Torque Equally
Divides torque equally to reduce stress created on final drives and axles when torque is transferred to one side.
Back-Up Design
Back-up design should the sensors fail, normal differential actions still available to maintain control and steering.
Structures
