CATERPILLAR 261-1316 Valve & Mtg GP-Brake – Front Brake, Retarder Control for Off-Highway Trucks
The Caterpillar 261-1316 Valve & Mounting Group Brake is a critical component designed specifically for front brake and retarder control systems in heavy-duty off-highway trucks. Engineered to meet OEM standards, this valve assembly ensures precise modulation of braking force, enhancing vehicle safety and operational efficiency under extreme load conditions. Compatible with models such as the 777F-JRP, 773F-EED, 773F-EXD, 775F-DLS, 775F-EYG, and 777F-JXP, this part is manufactured using high-grade metallurgy to withstand harsh environments and prolonged mechanical stress.
Technically, the 261-1316 valve features robust construction with corrosion-resistant materials to maintain optimal hydraulic flow and pressure control within the drivetrain braking system. Its design supports seamless integration with the retarder control, providing smooth deceleration and improved vehicle control on steep grades or during heavy load handling. This valve assembly contributes to reduced wear on brake components, extending service intervals and minimizing downtime for off-highway trucks operating in mining, construction, and heavy haul applications.
