Product Overview
The4694317 is a adapter built to deliver extreme abrasion and impact resistance in large-scale mining and quarrying operations. Designed for Caterpillar Excavators wheel loaders, this adapter incorporates an advanced bevel angle and reinforced structure to optimize stress distribution and protect the bucket lip. Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel, it guarantees long-lasting performance under the most demanding working conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
Advanced Bevel Angle & Gap Design: The gap and optimized bevel angle effectively absorb and distribute high-impact shocks, reducing stress concentration on the bucket lip and extending its service life by up to 40%.
Superior Material Strength: Forged from alloy steel and treated with quenching and tempering heat treatment, achieving a hardness of 380-450 HB for optimal wear resistance without compromising toughness.
Precision Weld-On Integration: Designed for seamless welding directly to bucket lips, eliminating the need for bolts and preventing loosening or loss in high-vibration environments.
Perfect J600 Compatibility: Ensures precise fit with J700-series teeth, maintaining optimal digging geometry and tooth retention for maximum productivity.
Cost-Efficient Protection: Significantly reduces bucket lip wear and replacement frequency, lowering overall operating costs and downtime.
