382-6060: Balance Piston

Description: A Balance Piston in a planetary gear system is used to maintain balance and equalize hydraulic pressure between the different components of the gear system. It typically consists of a piston and cylinder arrangement that is mounted within the gear system and allows for the transfer of hydraulic fluid between different areas of the system. Attributes: • Manufactured to a precise specification and are built for durability, reliability, and productivity. • Designed to equalize the pressure on either side of the piston. Applications: A Balance Piston is used to ensure that the gear system operates smoothly and efficiently, and can help to prevent damage or wear to other components of the system and is mainly used in Cat 3512C, 3512E, and 3516C Power Systems, CX48, TH53-E60, TH55-E70, TH55-E70B, and TH55-E90 Powertrain (Powermodules, Trans, Tc), TH55-E70, and TH55-E90 Goer.
