Design and operation features
The Komatsu D155A-5 has been on the market for a long time. During this time it has established itself as a highly cost-effective bulldozer in all applications. The excellent technical properties and reliability of the machine are due to the features of its design.
The model is based on a sturdy frame to which the basic units are attached. The flat-floor frame reduces the risk of the equipment getting stuck on boulders and tree stumps, as well as facilitating movement over rough and marshy terrain. Handles prevent the formation of layers of dirt.
The Komatsu D155A-5 in-house chassis has an advanced design. It is built on an elastic suspension supplemented by a cross-member method. The chassis makes independent oscillatory movements and the floor plates smoothly follow the ground contours, which improves traction. The bottom cross-shaped bracket has a special rubber damper to reduce vibrations. At the same time, the rubber pad and sled show their damping in different ways depending on the type of ground. On level ground, the chassis behaves like a rigid standard chassis. On uneven terrain, the damping properties show up, making for a pleasant ride and less wear and tear on the bulldozer.
The Komatsu D155A-5 uses the CLSS closed-center hydraulic system, which is load-sensitive. Properties of hydraulic cylinders-pistons with 2-way effect. Hydraulic system capacity is 60 liters.
Komatsu D155A-5 has hydromechanical 6-speed transmission with smooth shifting under load (3 forward and 3 reverse gears). Speed shifting in manual mode and change of driving direction is carried out with the help of multifunctional joystick. Turning is done by braking the track.
The braking system uses maintenance-free, long-life wet slat brakes. Adjustment of the system is not necessary as its functions ensure maximum performance. The side brakes act as a brake and service brake. Neutral lock switch and hand switch make machine operation safer and prevent accidental machine movement.
The Komatsu D155A-5 is equipped with a pressurized pressurized cab air filter. This keeps dust levels to a minimum. The new design provides visibility in all directions. The operator’s working conditions remain comfortable by maintaining a constant temperature and low vibration in the cab.
Convenient operation and diagnostics are guaranteed by the electronic current control body, which publishes information on malfunctions and eliminates the appearance of serious errors. The microcomputer evaluates the operation of the machinery and shows a wide list of readings (oil temperature, coolant temperature, battery charge level, fuel level, number of motorcycles and other indicators).
The main body of the bulldozer is controlled by a joystick, which is excellent in the hand.
Komatsu D155A-5 Maintenance is simplified by the following solutions:
- Cooling system expansion tank;
- Inspected disc brakes;
- Power unit side doors with upward opening;
- Track ligatures with dusters that prevent external materials from entering the bushing-to-pin gaps;
- Single oil pressure control group.
