Torque Divider
9 Exclusive Caterpillar Component
9 Consists of a conventional torque
converter with an integrated
planetary gear set.
9 More continuous Application of
engine power.
9 Ability to provide increased torque at
high load demands on the machine
9 Ability to absorb load shock that
contributes to component service life.
9 Increases efficiency and provides
improved fuel economy for material
moved.

D6G2 XL
TRACK-TYPE TRACTOR
Torque Divider
9 Allows for a variable split of
engine torque between the
torque converter and planetary
gear set.
9 Depending on engine load
from the machine application,
this split can be as high as
70% of engine torque
transmitted through the
converter and remaining 30%
transmitted through the
planetary gear set.
9 Efficiency of the divider is
higher than a basic torque
converter as power loss
through a planetary gear set is
less than that of the converter
(fluid coupling).
