431-0062 | Heavy Penetration Bucket Tooth for Caterpillar 994K Wheel Loader
Product Overview
The 431-0062 is a premium heavy penetration bucket tooth engineered as a direct OEM replacement for the Caterpillar 994K wheel loader. Designed specifically for challenging digging conditions in mining and quarrying, this tooth features an aggressive geometry to maximize breakout force and fill-factor in consolidated or rocky materials. Its robust construction ensures superior impact and abrasion resistance, delivering extended service life and a lower cost-per-ton in high-production environments.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
Optimized Heavy Penetration Profile: The aggressive "Heavy Penetration" shape is engineered to concentrate breakout force and slice efficiently into compacted banks, shot rock, and other difficult-to-dig materials. This design minimizes slippage and resistance, leading to faster cycle times and improved productivity.
Precision OEM Compatibility: Manufactured to meet original Caterpillar specifications, this tooth guarantees a perfect fit and reliable performance on the 994K wheel loader. It ensures optimal force distribution to protect the entire front-end assembly from unnecessary stress and wear.
High-Strength Alloy Steel Construction: Forged from premium, heat-treated alloy steel, the 431-0062 achieves an exceptional balance of high surface hardness and a tough, impact-absorbent core. This provides outstanding resistance to abrasive wear, spalling, and breakage under extreme loads.
Enhanced Durability & Wear Life: The strategic material selection and hardened design significantly extend operational life in highly abrasive applications such as loading taconite, iron ore, and hard-rock aggregates. This results in reduced replacement frequency and increased machine availability.
Robust Construction for Demanding Cycles: With a weight of 110.3 kg, this tooth is built to withstand the severe shock loads and continuous duty cycles of a large wheel loader, ensuring structural integrity and reliable performance.
