160-2390 Planetary Clutch Piston is a Caterpillar transmission component designed for CAT 793D and 793C off-highway trucks. Made from ductile spheroidal iron, it applies force to the clutch plates to support reliable planetary clutch engagement and efficient power transmission under demanding heavy-duty operating conditions.
Planetary Clutch Piston: 160-2390 is a key component in the planetary transmission assembly, designed to actuate the clutch pack during gear engagement.
Reliable Clutch Engagement: The piston applies force against the clutch plates to create a mechanical connection between the input and output shafts.
Ductile Iron Construction: Caterpillar specifies ductile (spheroidal) iron for the piston, providing the strength and durability required for heavy-duty transmission operation.
OEM-Fit Design: The piston is engineered for the specified Cat planetary transmission configuration, supporting accurate installation and reliable clutch operation.
Stable Power Transmission: Proper piston operation helps ensure consistent clutch engagement and efficient transfer of engine power through the transmission.
Heavy-Duty Application: Designed for off-highway trucks exposed to high torque, heavy payloads and frequent gear changes.
Replacement Solution: Suitable for replacing a worn or damaged clutch piston during transmission inspection, repair or overhaul.
