The travel final drive is a mechanical device that is located at the end of the excavator's hydraulic system and is responsible for delivering power to the tracks. It consists of a gearbox
a hydraulic motor, and a final drive sprocket that connects to the tracks. The gearbox is responsible for reducing the speed of the hydraulic motor and increasing the torque, while the final drive sprocket transfers the rotational energy to the tracks.
The travel final drive for KOMATSU PC50FR has a specific set of specifications that are designed to ensure optimal performance. These specifications include:
Gear ratio: The gear ratio determines the speed and torque of the final drive. The travel final drive for KOMATSU PC50FR has a gear ratio of 34.6:1, which allows the excavator to operate efficiently on different types of terrain.
Maximum torque: The maximum torque of the travel final drive is the amount of rotational force that it can generate. The KOMATSU PC50FR travel final drive has a maximum torque of 7,200 Nm, which is sufficient to power the excavator's tracks through tough conditions.
Operating pressure: The operating pressure is the amount of hydraulic pressure required to operate the travel final drive. The KOMATSU PC50FR travel final drive operates at a pressure of 35 MPa, which is within the excavator's hydraulic system's operating range.
Oil capacity: The oil capacity of the travel final drive is the amount of oil required to lubricate and cool the internal components
The KOMATSU PC50FR travel final drive has an oil capacity of 2.3 liters, which is sufficient to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
Weight: The weight of the travel final drive is an essential consideration as it affects the excavator's overall weight and balance. The KOMATSU PC50FR travel final drive weighs approximately 50 kg, which is within the excavator's weight capacity.
