This is a high-strength Crankshaft Gear for CAT equipment, essential for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft with other engine components like the camshaft. Manufactured from hardened steel, it provides reliable power transfer and durability, unlike a worn gear that can cause timing issues and increased noise. Operators may notice irregular engine timing, loss of power, or unusual gear-grinding noises when this component begins to fail.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early signs of a failing crankshaft gear might include slight irregularities in engine speed or a faint clicking noise from the front of the engine. If ignored, the gear teeth can wear down further, leading to inaccurate engine timing and potential power loss. Continued operation with a damaged gear risks stripping teeth, causing a complete loss of engine timing and severe internal damage.
Ensure the crankshaft and the gear bore are clean and free of any debris before attempting installation. Do not use excessive force or hammer the gear onto the crankshaft, as this can damage the gear teeth or the crankshaft snout.
Inspect the camshaft gear and timing chain/belt for wear and proper tension during the replacement of the crankshaft gear.
