627G^Non-Current

C15 Tractor Engine

The Cat C15 Electronically Controlled Unit Injection (EUI) diesel engine powers the tractor. With dual horsepower capability, it provides high power and torque rise for excellent lugging in tough loading conditions. The C15 is designed for long hours of continuous operation with high displacement and low RPM ratings.

C9 Scraper Engine

The 627G is tandem powered by the Cat C9 scraper engine for peak performance and high productivity in self-loading applications. The C9 has a smaller physical envelope than the Cat 3306 it replaced, weighs less, and delivers more horsepower. In addition, all daily inspection points are located on the right hand side for easier maintenance.

Dual Horsepower

Electronic engines deliver increased power when the auger is engaged or when the machine is in the roading gears, providing quicker acceleration on the haul road.

ACERT Technology

The C15 and the C9 electronic engines with ACERT technology meet US EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage III emission regulations. ACERT technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced technology in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction with integrated electronics. Caterpillar meets emission regulations at the combustion source rather than recycling exhaust gases.

Electronic Control Module (ECM)

The ECM responds to operator commands and engine sensor input to optimize engine and machine performance. This advanced engine management software controls and protects the engine at all times against cold starts, high altitude operations and air filter plugging by monitoring:
• injection timing and pressure
• engine cooling fan speed
• ether starting aid
• hydraulic pumps

Electronic Unit Injection (EUI)

Electronic injection provides complete control over injection timing, duration, rate and pressure under changing conditions over the entire engine operating range. The EUI controlled engine delivers:
• improved fuel efficiency
• more power
• decreased smoke and emissions
• faster hot and cold starts
• better high altitude performance
• less noise than mechanical injector engines

Engine Speed Lock

Allows the operator to maintain a given engine speed without using the accelerator pedal. This eliminates operator fatigue associated with holding the pedal down for extended periods of time. An on/off rocker switch enables the Speed Lock feature, and a lamp indicates the feature is active. Moving the rocker switch to the off position, or activating the service brakes or the retarder, disables the feature.

NGMR Engine Cooling System

The standard radiator for the tractor is the Next Generation Modular Radiator (NGMR) that features 9 fins per inch, whereas the previous model had a standard radiator of 33 fins per inch. The increased radiator fin spacing reduces clogging in severe applications.

Automatic Belt Tensioning

Both the tractor and scraper engines now have automatic belt tensioning rather than manual tensioning. Other improvements for both the tractor and scraper engines include:
• reducing the number of belts (from five to two on the tractor, from four to two on the scraper)
• eliminating the servicing for fan drive bearings

Transmission

Electronically controlled Caterpillar planetary powershift transmission with eight forward and one reverse speed. Tractor gears 1 & 2 operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during cut and fill operations. Gears 3-8 operate in direct-drive for drive train efficiency during the haul. Reverse gear operates in converter drive. All scraper gears operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during the cut and fill.

Brake Performance

Redesigned axles on both the tractor and scraper accommodate wider brake shoes and brake drums, improving brake performance as much as 20 percent and reducing brake and drum wear as much as 75 percent.

Final Drives

Outboard-mounted, planetary design final drives reduce torque loads on other power train components. Large-capacity, double-row roller bearings and Caterpillar Duo-Cone seals deliver exceptional reliability in the toughest applications.

Simplified System

The electrical system has been redesigned to utilize three electronic control modules (ECM) on the tractor instead of four. The rear-powered scraper now has two ECMs rather than three.

Improved Serviceability

Combined monitoring systems, easy access diagnostics and more durable components make routine maintenance and servicing simple and fast.

Fuel Economy

Electronic controls yield a fuel savings by optimizing the timing setting for varying conditions. The ECM matches timing to the load on the engine, engine speed and temperature.

Product Link Ready

Product Link is a wireless system that allows the customer to track machine data such as location, service meter hours as well as machine health information. The system has the capability to automatically issue alerts when the machine is being operated beyond owner defined time and location limits.

Reduced Exhaust Smoke

The ECM reads electronic sensors to determine the optimum fuel/air ratio, then precisely controls fuel during cranking, starting and acceleration to reduce smoke. The ECM system is faster and more efficient than mechanically controlling the governor rack position.

Multi-Adjustable Seat

The Cat Comfort Cloth Seat has an adjustable seat and armrests for maximum operator comfort.
• Swivels and locks in four positions (0º, 10°, 20° and 30º) providing the optimum operating position in the cut or on the haul.
• Fore/aft and vertical height adjustment to accommodate various sized operators.

Revised Steering Column

Increases legroom a full 3.5 inches (89 mm), and reduces knee contact points.

Standard Air Conditioning

Gives the operator a comfortable workstation in any kind of weather. Relocated ventilation louvers improve airflow to the operator.

Storage And Amenities

Convenient storage location includes space for a lunch box and first aid kit. The cab also has a cup holder as well as an ashtray.

Visibility

Hood and front shroud width increased to accommodate the low emission engine, the air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC), ether starting aid, and lights. Hood corners are sloped to maintain the same level of visibility as the E-Series.

Single Lever Implement Control

Simple and easy to operate, the joystick enhances the productivity of operators of all skill levels. Requires less force to control the critical scraper functions and requires less lever travel. Grab handle/hand rest next to joystick controller so operator has a place to rest hand while on the haul and return roads. 1) Bowl (forward & back) 2) Ejector (side to side) 3) Thumb rocker switch
• Apron position
• Elevator direction, speed 4) Transmission Hold 5) Cushion Hitch 6) Trigger* (not shown here - is on front of joystick)
• Auger (on/off)
• Push-Pull (bail up/down)
• Elevator (on/off, resume)
* Standard open bowl does not have a trigger

Instrument Display Panel

Features a quad-gauge layout showing engine coolant temp, transmission/torque converter oil temp, fuel level, and system air pressure. The 627G tachometer can monitor either front or rear engine speeds. Once the 627G tractor engine has been started, the operator can start the rear engine from inside the cab. EMS III can display both front and rear engine information right in the cab.

Engine Speed Lock Controller

Enhances operation during long haul cycles by allowing the operator to maintain a desired engine speed without maintaining pressure on the accelerator.

Simplified Transmission Control

Simplifies gear selection (1st, 2nd, Drive and Reverse) and allows operator-defined top gear control. Relocating the gear control to the rear increases operator legroom.

Cushion Hitch

The electronically actuated cushion hitch incorporates a parallelogram-type linkage for exceptional strength with nitrogen accumulators to deliver a smooth ride for enhanced operator comfort.
• controlled oil flow dampens rebound oscillation
• leveling valve automatically centers piston in cylinder for all loads
• steel castings are used extensively to eliminate many welded joints and increase strength
• double-kingbolt design withstands high external forces and simplifies installation and removal

Redesigned Bowl

Excellent productivity with a 10% increase in bowl capacity, improved draft arm protection, and better load retention. Low-profile design of the bowl offers less resistance to incoming materials, while cellular construction adds strength and dent resistance to bowl sides and floor.

Bulldozer Ejection System

Combines constant spreading control while minimizing carryback material. A spill guard on the ejector (standard on 627G) helps retain material and keep it from spilling over onto the rear of the scraper.

Cutting Edges

May be adjusted according to job conditions. For most efficient loading, use the thinnest edge that provides satisfactory wear life and impact resistance.

Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools (GET)

A wide variety of Ground Engaging Tool (GET) options, such as standard, serrated, and abrasion resistant material (ARM), are available to optimize scraper loading in various materials. Most are reversible to provide long life and reduced operating costs. Contact your Cat Dealer to learn more about the best tools for your applications.

Tandem Engines

Two engines ensure the power to handle steep grades, and makes possible all wheel drive to handle soft, slippery underfoot conditions.

Dual Horsepower

Provides increased horsepower during the haul which results in faster cycle times.

Material Application

Well suited to handle a wide variety of material from clay to shot rock.

Push-Pull Attachments

This optional arrangement concentrates the combined horsepower of two machines onto one cutting edge. The push-pull attachments allow two individual machines to act as a self-loading system, typically loading both machines in less than a minute.

Hydraulically Actuated Bail

The push-pull arrangement uses a hydraulically actuated bail and cushioned plate bolted to the front of the tractor, and a hook that is attached to the rear of the scraper.

Increased Production

As the lead machine enters the cut, the trailing machine lowers the bail on the hook of the first machine. The second machine then pushes the first machine until it is loaded. When the second machine begins its loading cycle, the first machine pulls the second machine until it is loaded. After both machines are loaded, the second machine raises its bail and disengages from the first machine.

Flexible Fleet

This system provides a more balanced, flexible fleet using fewer machines and less investment than comparable self-loading or push-loading systems.

Versatility

The auger has a wide material appetite ranging from rock to free flowing material such as sand. The auger lifts material off of the cutting edge, conditions it, and spreads it evenly in the bowl for true self-loading capability.

Material Conditioning

As the auger carries material from the cutting edge to the top of the load, it conditions the material into uniform size which helps eliminate voids in the bowl, thus ensuring consistent payloads. Conditioned material also requires less compactive force in the fill. In applications where dust is a concern, the auger has demonstrated that it significantly minimizes dust while loading when compared to the elevator loading system.

Auger Benefits

The auger actions on the material produce several benefits:
• wide material appetite, ideal for landfills
• blending material creates a consistent, well-mixed load
• conditioned material reduces voids in the bowl for larger, more consistent payloads, and promotes compaction in the fill
• reduces dust and noise during loading
• precise metering of material in the fill

Dual Horsepower

Tractor engine automatically reverts to the higher setting when the auger motor is engaged.

Slip Limiter Switch

Prevents rear wheel slip during loading.

Hydraulic System

Single hydraulic system for entire machine with separate implement pumps/valves simplifies maintenance and improves reliability.

Grouped Service Points

Maintenance and service points for the engine are grouped on the right-hand side for easy access. They include the engine air cleaner, engine oil check and fill, fuel filters and priming, coolant level sight glass, window washer bottle, air conditioning dryer cartridge, ether starting aid canister, engine oil filter, fan drive lubrication, and sampling ports for the engine oil and coolant.
• Spin-on fluid filters for all but the main hydraulic filter
• Cab wiring harness redesigned and relocated for better serviceability

Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III)

Monitors machine status and provides real-time information to the operator including warnings of problems identified by the Electronic Control Modules.

Implement Valve Relocation

The implement valve has been relocated from the tractor to the top of scraper draft tube, reducing the number of hoses and tubes that cross over the gooseneck. The move reduces potential leak points, and improves service access.

One Piece Power Block

Jumpstart receptacle and disconnect switch are integrated into a one-piece power block for better electrical integrity and serviceability. The disconnect switch, with a lockable cover, disables all power from the batteries and jumpstart functions.

Electro-Hydraulic Implement Control

Simplifies serviceability by removing the cab pilot valve and associated lines, which also improves reliability and reduces noise. The high efficiency electro-hydraulic pilot oil filter provides cleaner oil for the pilot system.

Scraper Electrical Harness

A ribbon wiring harness replaced the cable harness for improved wear and durability. Its increased flexibility oscillates with the machine, and polyurethane boots offer better protection against the elements.

Access Doors

The tractor has a standard two-piece door on the right side for better access to service points. The hood, hinged on the front and supported by spring struts, easily opens towards the front of the machine, for better access to the top of the engine.

Electronic Technician (Cat ET)

The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service Tool is useful in troubleshooting existing problems or identifying potential problems by displaying:
• Real-time pressures, temperatures, fuel settings and diagnostic messages
• Historical data such as engine over-speeds, overheating, low oil pressure and air filter restriction events
• More detailed information to the service technician who can access Cat ET via a laptop computer

Easy Access Diagnostics

Diagnostic codes are accessible through the EMS main display module, via the Cat ET. Relaying this information to the service technician can let him know which tools, troubleshooting guides, and possibly even replacement parts to bring to the machine.
