Komatsu introduces GD655-6 motor grader with CLSS hydraulic system for reduced fuel use
Komatsu America Corp.
The new Komatsu GD655-6 motor grader includes a closed-center, load sensing hydraulic system with variable displacement pump to supply flow and pressure only when needed, reducing fuel use and heat within the system.
The Komatsu GD655-6 motor grader is powered by a Komatsu Tier 4 Final engine featuring 218 net hp (163 kW). Its closed-center load sensing (CLSS) hydraulic system is outfitted with a variable displacement pump that supplies flow and pressure only when required during machine use, resulting in less heat and fuel usage. Direct acting control valves were designed and built by Komatsu to provide the operator with predictable system response (read more, 12058228).
