Core Advantages
1. Optimized Integrated Planetary Reducer Modular Design – For CAT CB Series Tandem Compactor Drum Drive System
Part No. 234-1649, 2341649 and 262-3690 are integrated 2-stage planetary drum travel gearboxes, direct OEM interchange parts for CAT tandem asphalt compactors CB-534C, CB-534D, CB-54, CB-564D, CB-634C, CB-634D and CB-64. Adopting carburized hardened alloy planetary gears and heavy-duty reinforced bearings, this all-in-one drive assembly delivers stable high torque, reliably sustaining continuous compaction vibration and slope climbing loads for long-hour paving operations.
It perfectly matches the original CAT hydraulic drive system with standard G1/2 hydraulic ports, requiring no transition adapters. Ideal for asphalt paving, highway and municipal road compaction. The thickened cast iron housing features a compact structural layout to fit limited drum installation space. With 1:1 OEM identical mounting flange, bolt holes and output splines, it supports direct plug-and-play replacement and greatly reduces equipment maintenance downtime.
2. 234-1649 Series Drum Gearbox – High Torque 2-Stage Planetary Drive For CAT CB Series Rollers
The 234-1649 planetary final drive is a heavy-duty high-torque drive unit tailored for CAT tandem vibratory compactors. It works at a rated working pressure of 350 bar and supports a peak pressure of 420 bar, providing sufficient torque for heavy-duty compaction and steep slope climbing.
Reinforced gear sets and FKM high-pressure resistant seals ensure stable transmission efficiency under frequent pressure fluctuations and strong vibration. Precision machined gears reduce internal wear for extended service life, while premium sealing systems effectively prevent oil leakage and block dust, mud ingress on harsh construction sites.
Designed for wide working temperatures from -20℃ to +85℃, this gearbox adapts to various harsh, dusty and muddy job environments. Integrated with an axial piston travel motor and multi-disc parking brake, it balances fast travelling speed and low-speed heavy compaction performance, perfectly suited for all road infrastructure paving and compaction projects.




Q: What machine does the 234-1649 / 2341649 / 262-3690 drum gearbox fit?
A: These interchangeable part numbers represent a complete planetary final drive gearbox, compatible with CAT tandem asphalt compactors: CB-534C, CB-534D, CB-54, CB-564D, CB-634C, CB-634D and CB-64. It acts as the core travel drive for the roller's front and rear steel drums.
Q: Is it a direct OEM replacement?
A: Yes. All flanges, bolt holes, splines, hydraulic ports and dimensions are 1:1 OEM compatible. No modification is required for direct plug-and-play replacement.
Q: What are the core technical parameters?
A: Rated pressure: 350 bar; peak pressure: 420 bar; max output torque: 95000 N·m. Featuring a 2-stage heavy-duty planetary structure with integrated piston motor and parking brake, it delivers reliable power for heavy compaction and slope climbing.
Q: Is it fully compatible with the original hydraulic system?
A: Fully compatible with the original hydraulic system of CAT CB series compactors. No adapters are needed, ensuring stable and consistent operating performance.
Q: Does this gearbox support speed adjustment and stable travel performance?
A: Yes. The integrated piston motor offers stepless speed regulation, switching between low-speed high-torque compaction and high-speed travel to fit various construction scenarios.
Q: Are customized upgrade options available?
A: Yes. Custom upgrades are available, including reinforced hardened gear sets, heavy-duty seal kits, strengthened bearings and wear-resistant splines for harsh working conditions.
Q: What lubricants and maintenance cycles are recommended?
A: Use ISO VG46 hydraulic oil and SAE 80W-90 gear oil. Inspect oil level and seals every 300 working hours; replace gear oil completely every 1000 hours to maintain stable performance.
Q: How to solve common leakage and overheating problems?
A: Minor leakage can be fixed by retightening bolts; severe leakage requires a full seal kit replacement. Overheating is mainly caused by deteriorated oil, insufficient lubrication or internal wear. Regular maintenance is required, and non-professional disassembly is forbidden.
Q: What is your warranty policy?
A: We provide a 12-month factory warranty. Free technical support and part replacement are offered for non-human damage under standard installation and operation.
