Hydraulics

Cat hydraulics deliver power and precise control to keep material moving

Main Pumps

The hydraulic system includes three pumps with an independent swing circuit. The hydraulic circuit utilizes a load-sensing system to ensure high hydraulic system efficiency and excellent productivity with little hydraulic loss.

Large, heavy-duty main pumps and a separate swing pump provide quick cycle times during multi-function operation.

Reverse Swing Dampening Valve

Swing dampening valves reduce swing wag and produce smooth swing stops.

Advanced Features

The following are hydraulic system features of the 374D L.

The electric re-generation system is incorporated into the hydraulic system to improve productivity and lower fuel consumption.

The main pump flow has increased 10 percent to provide shorter cycle times.

The main implement pressure has been increased 9 percent. This also provides shorter cycle times with higher digging forces, increased bucket fill factors.

Stick cylinder diameter for mass and reach configurations has been increased along with the bucket cylinder diameter on the reach stick. These increases produce 17 percent higher digging forces.

Proportional Priority Pressure Compensation (PPPC) Hydraulics

Load-sensing, PPPC system, with Caterpillar-developed electronic actuation, provides high efficiency and excellent controllability.

Cylinder speed is directly related to operator’s movement of joystick from feathering to full speed.

Flow to cylinders during multifunctional operation is directly controlled by the operator and is not dependent on loads.

Controller reduces pump output to minimum to save power when joysticks are in neutral position.

Electronic management

Monitor Display Screen

The monitor is a full color, 400 × 234 pixels Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). A master caution lamp blinks ON and OFF when one of the critical conditions below occurs:

• Engine oil pressure low

• Coolant temperature high

• Hydraulic oil temperature high

Under normal conditions or the default condition, the monitor display screen is divided into four areas: clock and throttle dial, gauge, event display and multi-information display.

Gauge Display

Three analog gauges, fuel level, hydraulic oil temperature and coolant temperature are displayed in this area.

Electronic Joysticks

Electronic joysticks provide features not possible with hydraulic pilot valves:

• Eliminate pilot lines in cab for quieter operation

• Simple pattern change through the monitor

Operator Gain/Response

This is used to suit the operator preference or application.

• Quicker for fast response

Structures

Rugged structures designed for maximum durability

Variable Gauge Undercarriage

The long variable gauge undercarriage is standard, providing a wide, stable base for operating, or a narrow gauge for reduced shipping width. The undercarriage gauge in working position has been increased by 160 mm (6.3 in) for improved stability.

Upper Frame

The upper frame is designed for maximum durability and efficient use of materials. The boomfoot, skirt and counterweight mounting area have been strengthened for longer service life and increased durability.

Outer frame utilizes curved side rails, which are die-formed, for excellent uniformity and strength through the length

Box section channels improve upper frame rigidity under the cab

Boom tower and one piece main rails are constructed of solid, high-tensile strength steel plates

Catwalk

The catwalk width has been increased by 110 mm (4.3 in) from the 365C L. Catwalks are provided on both sides of the skirt for easy access of the maintenance points. Slip resistant plates are used on the full length of the catwalks.

Cross Roller Bearing

The 374D L swing bearing is a cross roller type, with 54 mm (2.13 in) diameter rollers. The cross rollers have a much greater contact area than ball bearing, providing increased stability and longer life.

Track Roller Frames

The track roller frame is made of thick, steel plate that is bent into a U-shape and welded to the bottom plate to create a box structure. The box structure design provides increased rigidity and impact resistance.

Undercarriage

The link that transmits the reaction forces from digging to the ground

Undercarriage

The undercarriage supports the swing bearing and upper structure and is the link that transmits the reaction forces from digging to the ground. The strength of the undercarriage plays a major factor in machine stability and durability.

Track Roller Frame

The track roller frame has been improved by installing a longer stroke recoil spring and lowering the front idler. The longer recoil spring improves durability and service life of the undercarriage while the offset idler increases the stability of the machine while working over the front.

Positive Pin Retention 2 (PPR2)

Track links with the PPR2 are provided as standard on the 374D L. The PPR2 track link is designed to prevent looseness of the track pin in the track link and to reduce stress concentrations. The PPR2 system eliminates pin walking for increased service life.

Carrier Rollers

The carrier rollers use a floating “Duo-Cone” seal. The Duo-Cone seal protects the moving parts in the carrier roller from water and dirt, and makes lubrication maintenance-free.

• All booms and sticks are stress-relieved for optimal life and durability, while minimizing weight for improved performance.

All booms and sticks are ultrasonic inspected.

Bucket Linkage

Two bucket linkages are available for the 374D L. Both linkages are available with or without a lifting eye on the power link.

The VB2 bucket linkage is for use with the reach sticks and VB2-family buckets

The WB2 bucket linkage is for use with the mass sticks and WB2-family buckets

Boom Construction

374D L booms feature a large cross-section to improve strength and reduce weight. Baffle plates reinforce the boom interior for higher rigidity. Booms are designed for strength and maximum payload.

Stick Construction

Sticks are made of high-tensile strength steel in a boxsection design, making them strong and light. All sticks are reinforced with a thick baffle plate for added rigidity. The connection between stick and boom is made of forged steel, and a thick steel plate is used at the bucket connecting location for increased strength and rigidity at load-bearing points. An additional wear plate is added to the working side of the stick for protection. All mass sticks include additional wear bars on the working side to protect the structure during operation. There are four reach sticks and two mass sticks available to meet your application needs.

Linkage Pins

Bucket cylinder pin and idler to stick pin diameter for the reach boom have been increased. The pins have thick chrome plating for high wear resistance and long life.
