Caterpillar 593-6449 E352 Drive Wheel Group / Final Drive Sprocket Wheel Assy Heavy duty excavator track chassis components manufactured by HELI(cqctrack)
Professional Product Specification: Caterpillar 593-6449 E352 Drive Wheel Group / Final Drive Sprocket Wheel Assembly
1. Manufacturer Capability: Precision Engineering for Critical Drive Components
HELI (CQC TRACK) is a certified ODM & OEM manufacturer specializing in high-integrity undercarriage and power transmission components. We focus on engineering heavy-duty replacement parts that meet or exceed the rigorous demands of original equipment in severe-duty cycles, particularly for global brands like Caterpillar®.
- Advanced R&D and Metallurgy: Our engineering process begins with precise OEM specification analysis. We employ closed-die forging and computer-controlled induction hardening technologies to create sprocket teeth with optimal hardness profiles—ensuring deep wear resistance while maintaining a tough, fracture-resistant core.
- Integrated Quality Management: Our production follows IATF-derived quality protocols. Each 593-6449 assembly undergoes staged inspections: ultrasonic testing for forging integrity, gear tooth profile verification via 3D scanning, and surface hardness mapping. Final validation includes a run-out test and seal interface inspection.
- Complete System Supplier: We provide a fully matched undercarriage system. Using our Drive Wheel Group in conjunction with our track chains, rollers, and idlers ensures synchronized wear, maximizing the service life of the entire track circuit.
2. Product Technical Data Sheet: Part No. 593-6449 (E352)
This is a Final Drive Sprocket Wheel Assembly, a mission-critical component that interfaces directly with the final drive planetary hub and engages the track chain to propel the machine.
- OEM Reference Part Number: 593-6449, also compatible with the E352 group. (Always verify model compatibility with your specific machine Serial Number).
- Target Application: Designed for heavy-duty Caterpillar® excavators (commonly found in models such as the 330C, 336D, and other 30-40 ton class machines) operating in demanding sectors like mining, quarrying, and major construction.
- Design and Material Specifications:
- Forged Alloy Steel Body: The sprocket is hot-forged from premium alloy steel (e.g., 4140/42CrMo), providing superior grain structure and fatigue strength over cast alternatives.
- Precision Machined Gear Teeth: Teeth are machined to exact OEM geometry and undergo induction hardening to achieve a surface hardness of 55-60 HRC, with a controlled hardened depth to resist spalling and abrasive wear.
- Integrated Mounting Hub: The hub features precisely machined splines or a bolt circle, engineered to match the final drive’s output shaft perfectly, ensuring zero backlash and efficient torque transfer.
- Sealing and Protection: The assembly includes machined grooves and surfaces engineered to interface flawlessly with the final drive’s Duo-Cone seal system, creating a robust barrier against contaminants.
3. Installation, Maintenance, and Operational Service
- Pre-Installation Inspection: Before installation, verify the condition of the final drive output shaft splines/bolt holes and the integrity of the Duo-Cone seal rings. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
- Precision Installation Procedure:
- Carefully align the splines or bolt holes of the sprocket with the final drive shaft.
- If applicable, install specified high-strength flange bolts (Grade 10 or higher). Tighten progressively in a crisscross pattern to the OEM-specified torque value using a calibrated wrench.
- Reinstall the track chain and adjust tension according to the machine’s manual.
- Operational Maintenance: This is a non-serviceable assembly. Preventive maintenance consists of regular visual checks for abnormal tooth wear patterns (e.g., excessive hooking or wear on one side), inspecting for loose bolts, and monitoring for oil leaks from the final drive seal, which could indicate seal failure and impending contamination.
4. OEM Compatibility and System Integration
As an OEM-equivalent manufacturer, our 593-6449 assembly is reverse-engineered and manufactured to restore the original form, fit, and function. We ensure:
- Dimensional Interchangeability: Exact match of pitch diameter, tooth count, bore size, and mounting dimensions.
- Performance Parity: Matching or exceeding the original gear’s mechanical properties, load rating, and service life expectation under comparable operating conditions.
- System Harmony: Designed to work optimally with the machine’s existing final drive planetary set and hydraulic motor output.
5. Recommended Associated Components for a Complete Repair
To ensure balanced wear and prevent premature failure of the new sprocket, we strongly recommend inspecting and potentially replacing these related HELI components:
- Matched Track Link Assembly: A new, hardened track chain (e.g., 593-XXXX series) with unworn bushings is essential to prevent accelerated sprocket tooth wear.
- Final Drive Seal Kit: Includes the necessary Duo-Cone seals, O-rings, and gaskets to ensure a contaminant-free environment for the entire final drive.
- Track Guide Components: Heavy-duty rollers and idlers to maintain proper track alignment and reduce lateral stress on the sprocket.
- High-Tensile Fastener Kit: Certified bolts, nuts, and washers for secure installation of the sprocket assembly.
6. Factory-Direct Pricing and Supply Chain Model
We operate on a manufacturer-to-market model, providing significant advantages in cost, lead time, and quality oversight.
- Supply Capability: We support large-scale orders for global dealers and fleet owners, offering reliable inventory and just-in-time delivery options.
- Flexible Commerce: Secure transactions are facilitated through multiple channels, including Telegraphic Transfer (T/T), Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C), and online payment platforms, backed by comprehensive commercial documentation.
