Superior Drive Train Parts - To work your
system hard
Drive train components must endure incredible
torque, high-impact loads, and frequent direction and gear changes. Caterpillar
designs and manufactures its transmission and final drive components with
these demands in mind, using testing processes that simulate real world
applications. The result is a drive train system that lasts longer and
works harder over the life of your machine.
Two primary components:
- Transmission - takes the output from the
engine and manipulates it to control speed, direction and torque
- Final Drive - reduce speed and increase torque
