Overview
Overview. The Cat 797 is the ultra-class, industry leader and now the 797F continues this tradition with
advancements to safety, productivity, serviceability and comfort.
April 2010
Overview
April 2010
Engine
Engine. The Cat C175-20 engine is built for power, reliability and efficiency.
April 2010
Engine
ADEM 4 Electronic Engine Control
Cylinder Head
The C175-20 cylinder head is much thicker (taller)
than the 3524B HDs to withstand the engines greater
pressures. It is also a cross-flow design where air
enters from one side and exhaust departs from the
other side. The head is a high strength iron casting.
The skewed orientation of the twin intake and twin
exhaust valves in the cylinder head design allow for
shorter ports and greater breathing efficiency.
The advantages of the C175-20 air system are lower
pumping losses, higher power density and the ability
to meet U.S. EPA Tier 2 emission standards.
Head Joint Sealing System
The C175-20 head joint sealing system requires
acombustion seal ring between the head and liner,
and one gasket to seal the oil and water passages
between the block and head.
The 3524B engine had twelve parts, which
introduced more complexity.
The C175-20 sealing system is much more robust
and insensitive to tolerance stack-ups. If combustion
gas should escape at the seal, the gasket is designed
to vent it to the atmosphere. Thus, combustion
pressures are prevented from entering the cooling
system, which prevents coolant loss and its potential
for engine damage by overheating.

Power Train
Power Train. More power to the ground for greater productivity.
Planetary Groups
Power Train
The 797F has retained the proven design of the
797B but has additional features to accommodate
higher horsepower, provide improved power
train protection and support application specific
performance enhancements.
Torque Converter
The 797F Mining Truckss C175-20 engine is coupled
with the E7608 ADC torque converter. Itutilizes a
four-disc lockup clutch (LUC), one more than the
797B. The LUC pressure has been raised to 31.36bar
(310 psi) to accommodate higher horsepower and
maintain durability. TheLUC features Electronic
Clutch Pressure Controls (ECPC), and LUC
engagement has been tuned for different shift types.
Transmission
Power flows from the torque converter through
a20C drive shaft directly into the input yoke and
input planetary of the transmission. The transmission
output is directly splined into the differential pinion.
April 2010
Power Train
Performance
The C175-20 engine boosts net power from 2647 to
2983 kW (3,550 to 4,000 hp). The converter drive
torque limit of 25 760 Nm (19,000 ft-lb) in first gear
remains, but this increase in power allows the 797F to
outperform the 797B beyond that point via increased
speed on grade.
Final Drives
The 797F final drives feature a new cover that allows
for removal of the axle shaft and thrust button on
level ground without completely draining the rear
axle. This reduces downtime during towing operations
and certain inspections.
Wheels and Rims
The front wheels of the 797F now incorporate a new
sight gauge to check the oil level. The rear wheels
have plugs for checking oil level and a new center
access cover that allows for axle removal without
significant final drive oil loss.
April 2010
Brake System
Brake System. Superior brake control lets operators focus on productivity.
April 2010
On the 797B, the rpm was set for all gears and went
to maximum rpm. On the 797F, adjustable retarding
control allows the operator to pick the rpm in each
gear. The operator can also raise and lower actual
speed within each gear, allowing the operator much
more control thus improving performance.
The Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) on the 797B
runs the engine at a fixed top rpm of 1,900 (50)
andthis, in turn, sets the speed for a given gear.
Forthe 797F, the retarding speed in a gear can be
setto hold a speed below the maximum rpm point.
Retarding
The 797F offers two options for retarding. Flat/Uphill
Haul option is the standard configuration and provides
a simplified system for less maintenance. For those
applications requiring downhill loaded operation, an
optional configuration increases retarding capability.
Body Options
Caterpillar offers four MSD II (Mine Specific Design)
body options in conjunction with a configurable liner
system to achieve the most efficient hauling solution
at the lowest cost-per-ton.
220 m3 (288 yd3)
240 m3 (315 yd3)
251 m3 (330 yd3)
266 m3 (350 yd3)
Body Selection
The Cat truck body program is committed to
providing the most efficient and highest value body
solution for every mining customers application.
The process starts with body application engineers
understanding the users application. By studying
the mine site and understanding the overall
operational requirements and constraints, the body
can be configured to meet the unique needs of the
application. The goal of the Cat body specification
process is to balance payload and structural life
(durability) within the limitations of the gross
vehicle weight.

Operator Environment
Operator Environment. Ergonomically designed for all-day comfort, control and productivity.
Operator Station
Caterpillar is the leader in safe design, using a fourpost integral ROPS structure that provides superior
protection when compared with competitors designs.
The 797F features a completely new spacious cab
that offers excellent visibility. The controls and layout
offer operator comfort and convenience, while
maintaining Caterpillar standards for functionality
and durability. The cab isresiliently mounted and
has extra dampening and barrier material in the side
panels, floor and doors. This provides the operator
with a smoother ride, dueto less vibration.

Operator Environment
Operator Controls
The center-mounted console now features an
automotive-style shift lever with integrated parking
brake. The hoist control has been moved from the
left side of the operators seat to the center console.
Viewing Area
Designed for all-around visibility and clear sight
lines to the haul road, the new cab features a large
viewing area that enables the operator to maneuver
with confidence for high productivity. The gauge
cluster has been moved to the center of the cab to
allow the operator improved visibility in front of
themachine.
Storage Compartment
An overhead storage area has been added to the
rear between the operator and trainer seat. A bottle
and lunch box storage area with tie-downs have
also been added, along with two, variable-sized
cupholders.

Machine Intelligence
Machine Intelligence. Vital machine health and payload data keeps production at peak levels.
VIMSpc
This off-board software reporting program allows
service personnel to download a complete record
ofmachine health and productivity data. Health and
payload reports can be generated for more effective
machine management which helps reduce downtime
and lowers operating costs.
