Plate bolt for Caterpillar D8L

The plate bolt 8M2295 serves as a threaded fastener for joining structural components and plates within heavy machinery. It is engineered to maintain a secure mechanical connection, managing tension and shear loads while resisting the dynamic forces and vibrations encountered during operation. This component is essential for maintaining the structural alignment of the machine.

This specific part is compatible with the Caterpillar D8L crawler tractor. It is utilized in various assemblies, including the chassis, ripper, and blade mounting points, where maintaining a secure union is necessary for machine stability. The part is manufactured to meet the specific design requirements for this model.

Plate bolts function as the primary hardware for securing heavy steel plates and structural members in earthmoving equipment. By providing a high-strength connection, these fasteners ensure that components remain fixed under operational loads, preventing misalignment or loosening of the assembly. Proper installation and torque are required to ensure the fastener performs its intended function within the machine structure.
