Transmissão final 114-1331 para midi escavadora Caterpillar 325BL

325BL Final Drive for CAT Excavator spare parts 114‑1331 191‑3246 1141331 1913246 Axial Piston Motor Aftermarket

Product Overview

The "L" in 325BL stands for long — a long undercarriage that spreads a 25‑ton frame over extra track length, giving the machine the stability to dig deep and lift heavy on soft ground. That stability is only useful if the tracks actually pull, and under each one sits the axial piston motor and planetary reducer covered by references 114‑1331, 191‑3246, 1141331 and 1913246. It takes high‑pressure oil from the main pump and trades speed for torque, turning the sprocket slow enough to drag 25 tons across a quarry bench or a muddy cut slope.

These B‑series Cats have been around long enough to clock serious hours, and when the drive starts to tire it shows up across the whole machine. One track lags on the climb out of the pit, the track shell runs warm to the touch after a shorter trundle than it should, and a new growl comes through the floor plates under load. Most crews nurse it another week — but by then the piston block and valve plate are already shedding fine steel swarf into the travel oil, and that debris scores every surface it touches. This aftermarket unit arrives as one sealed, bench‑run motor‑and‑reducer assembly, so the worn drive lifts out whole and the replacement drops straight into the original mounting.

Core Advantages

1. Torque output matched to a long‑undercarriage 25‑ton machine
The extra track length spreads weight, but the drive still has to pull that weight up grades and out of ruts. Hardened gear stages multiply the motor's output down to sprocket speed, so the track digs in rather than spinning on muddy climbs.

2. A lapped piston group that holds pressure lap after lap
The cylinder block, piston shoes and valve plate are finished to close running clearance, so high‑pressure oil does not bleed internally. Both tracks then pull in step — no wander on the haul road, no lazy side, no hesitation when the bucket crowds the face.

3. Sealed for quarry dust and standing water
Long‑undercarriage machines work through long shifts in the harshest site conditions. Every shaft and housing joint gets a new lip seal before the drive leaves the shop. That seal integrity is the single biggest factor in whether the drive reaches its first overhaul.

4. One complete unit for a fast production turnaround
Motor and reduction arrive bolted together and bench‑checked for torque, leakage and noise. The fitter lifts the old drive out and bolts the new one in without matching loose parts on the shop floor — critical when a parked 25‑ton machine is costing the crew by the hour.

5. Aftermarket build price for a well‑used B‑series fleet
A CAT dealer exchange drive carries a premium that is hard to justify on an older 325BL. This aftermarket unit restores full track mobility at a fraction of that cost, with sample supply and batch pricing for workshops running several B‑series machines.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Each unit is built from traced, certified materials. Housings are precision‑machined, gear teeth are finish‑ground and case‑hardened to spec, and assembly happens under clean conditions. Before packing, every drive runs on a hydraulic stand while output torque, pressure drop and running noise are logged across its speed range. Units that leak, bind or read outside tolerance come apart for rework rather than shipping. The finished assembly is fogged with preservation oil, its ports plugged, and it sits on shock‑absorbing dunnage inside a sealed crate for sea and road freight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which reference suits my 325BL?
A: Read the tag on your existing drive against the four numbers and send the machine serial number. B‑series build variants can differ, so we cross‑check before dispatch.

Q2: Does this come with the sprocket?
A: The listing is the complete motor and planetary reduction. The sprocket itself usually transfers over; if yours is hooked, ask and we will quote a fresh one at the same time.

Q3: What symptoms mean the drive is wearing out?
A: Mismatched track speeds, pulling to one side on level ground, a hot or noisy track motor, and tracks that fail to pull under load. Catch it before swarf spreads through the whole travel circuit.

Q4: What voids the warranty?
A: Manufacturing and material defects are covered. Damage from contaminated oil, debris in the motor, a stalled track forced into movement, overload or a botched install is excluded. Photograph any arrival damage before uncrating.
