CAT 078-6648 BRIDE DE RAC

CAT 078-6648 is a Caterpillar genuine drive end bearing belt (drive end bearing fixing belt), compatible with the hydraulic pump drive end/engine flywheel bearings of 306E2/307E2 excavators and 226B3/236B3/246B3 skid steer loaders. It works in conjunction with the 078-6636 bearing and 078-5254 locking collar. Through elastic tension and anti-slip teeth engagement, it secures the bearing, preventing axial movement and circumferential slippage. Suitable for medium-to-high speed rotation and variable load conditions, it ensures smooth power transmission for Cat®…

Compatible Models and Application Scenarios

Compatible Equipment: 306E2/307E2 mini excavators, 226B3/236B3/246B3 skid steer loaders; compatible with the hydraulic pump drive system of 3044C/3054C engines.

Application Scenarios: Installed between the drive end seat ring and the drive shaft, it uses elastic clamping force and anti-slip teeth to prevent circumferential slippage and axial movement of the seat ring during power transmission. Suitable for medium-to-high speed and variable load conditions.

For use with: Compatible with 078-5254 locking collar and 078-6636 seat ring, used for positioning and fixing the drive end seat ring to prevent loosening that could cause vibration, abnormal noise, and component damage.

Installation and maintenance points: Clean the surface of the seat ring and drive shaft, checking for burrs and rust. The clearance between the inner diameter of the seat ring and the shaft diameter should be 0.02-0.05 mm.

Align the strap opening with the seat ring positioning groove and tighten it around the ring using a special tool with a torque of 10-12 N·m, ensuring the anti-slip teeth are properly engaged.

Post-installation inspection: Axial pulling of the seat ring should not cause any movement, circumferential rotation should not cause slippage, and a 30-minute trial run should be performed without any abnormal vibration or noise. After stopping the machine, a retest should confirm no loosening.

Maintenance: Check the elasticity and buckle condition of the strap every 500 hours. Replace it when the elasticity deformation exceeds 0.2 mm or the buckle is loose. Check the wear of the anti-slip teeth every 1000 hours. Replace it when the wear exceeds 0.3 mm.
