|
Vibratory Bearing Lube Service
The 3 year/3000 hour vibratory bearing lube service interval reduces maintenance. |
|
Heavy-duty Isolation Mounts
The heavy-duty isolation mounts on the CS-432E allow more force to be transmitted to the ground and less vibration to the drum yoke. |
|
Patented Eccentric Weights
Reliable dual amplitude selection and innovative design ensure precise performance. High reliability since there is no chance of the high-strength spherical steel shot wedging together. Long service life because there are no heavy weights to slam together and no metal fragments to contaminate the bearing lubrication system. |
|
Positive amplitude selection
Positive amplitude selection is accomplished when the steel shot is repositioned inside the hollow eccentric weight. Direction of the weight shaft rotation determines amplitude level. |
|
Simplified control
There is simplified control from the operator’s station with a selection switch on the operator’s console. |
|
High Reliability
The eccentric weights are highly reliable since there is no change of the high-strength spherical steel shot wedging together. System reliability is superior to swinging mechanical weights and is also quieter during starts and stops. |
|
Long Service Life
No heavy weights to slap together and no metal fragments to contaminate the bearing lubrication system. |

Dual Pump Propel System
The dual pump propel system provides high tractive effort and gradeability for outstanding productivity and machine control in demanding environments. The dual propel pumps provide separate, balanced hydraulic flow to the rear wheel axle and the drum drive motors. The limited slip differential provides balanced tractive effort and smooth torque transfer to both rear wheels. Two speed ranges provide for versatile operation. Low speed range is for vibratory operation and maximum torque when climbing grades. High speed range moves the machine quickly over longer distances. |

|
Gradeability and Machine Control
The exclusive dual pump propel system provides a separate balanced hydraulic flow to both the rear drive axle and the front drum drive motor. This system enables the operator to achieve unmatched gradeability and maintain machine control while compacting on a grade. Dual pumps also minimize drum and wheel spin-out in low traction conditions. |
|
Two Propel Pump System
The two propel pump system on the CS-423E has dedicated pumps to drive the heavy-duty, high torque rear wheel and drum motors independently. Should the drum or wheels begin to spin, there is always hydraulic flow to the non-spinning motor, allowing continuous tractive effort. This feature is especially useful in loose underfoot conditions. |
|
Controllability
Controllability is another feature of dual propel pumps. The operator is able to stop, maintain machine position and change directions while on a grade. |
|
Productivity
The CS-423E is designed to achieve high productivity on level to mild grades. |
|
Sloped Hood Design
The sloped fiberglass hood design provides good service access and exceptional operator visibility. Visibility to the tire edges and rear of the machine is exceptional. The sloped hood allows the operator to see obstacles measuring 1 meter (3' 3") high located 1 meter (3' 3") to the rear of the machine. Excellent visibility increases productivity when working near obstructions or maneuvering around the job site. |
