DEVICE
The ChTZ B10M bulldozer is unified with the ChTZ T10M tractor (most of the machine elements are similar). Only the engine, fuel system and individual structural elements underwent changes during the development of the bulldozer. The technology is based on a powerful load-bearing frame, additionally reinforced by a welded spatial system with side members. This structure is supported by bogies with 3-point suspension and connected to a micro-suspension beam. This design ensures smooth running. The undercarriage uses tracks with a sealed joint.
Chassis parameters:
- number of road wheels on each side – 6;
- number of support rollers on each side – 2;
- track width – 1880 mm;
- base shoe width – 500 mm;
- specific pressure on the ground – 0.055 MPa.
In the standard version, ChTZ B10M is equipped with a hydromechanical transmission with a planetary reversible 3-speed gearbox and a 2-speed gearbox with cylindrical gears. The transmission is smooth and highly efficient. Gear selection is carried out without reducing power.
Travel speed range (forward/reverse):
- 1st gear – 0-3.61/0-4.48 km/h;
- 2nd gear – 0-6.4/0-7.49 km/h;
- 3rd gear – 0-10.1/0-12.5 km/h.
The bulldozer is also available with a mechanical 8-speed transmission with a hydraulic server for controlling the rotating mechanism. Some versions are equipped with a modified gearbox without a clutch. Interaction with the engine is carried out using an elastic coupling and a cardan shaft. This transmission is easy to repair and maintain and has great performance.
The attachments are controlled using a separate hydraulic unit.
The ChTZ B10M bulldozer uses a rigid frame cabin made of metal. Panoramic glazing provides full all-round visibility. A special heating system with several operating modes is highly efficient and allows you to operate equipment even in the extremely cold climate of the Far North. An additional oil-type heater can be installed as an option. The driver is provided with a Pilot seat with vibration isolation and an increased level of comfort. The seat has multiple adjustments to suit the operator's height and weight. The controls are located in close proximity to the driver. Upon request, the cabin is equipped with protection against falling objects (relevant for the construction industry and the forestry industry).
Transmission
The composition includes a transmission, including mechanical and hydraulic elements, which is responsible for speed control. This happens automatically and the main parameter is the external load. Another advantage of the transmission is the speed of reverse and change of speed without loss of power. It reduces the load, which has a positive effect on the entire machine and on productivity. The gearbox is designed for six speeds, with an equal number in both directions. Hydraulics are provided for switching.
The new B10M bulldozer can be equipped with two types of transmission. The first type is a mechanical reversible gearbox with eight speeds. The hydraulic server is responsible for the correct behavior of the rotating device. The second is a hydromechanical planetary type gearbox with three gears.
