Caterpillar 7G-2493 Planetary Gearbox Assembly

Caterpillar 7G-2493 planetary gear is a 23-tooth planet gear designed for use in Cat planetary gearbox assemblies. This genuine Cat component is identified by part number 7G-2493 and is described on Caterpillar's official parts listings as a 23-tooth planetary gear, a key member of a planetary gearset that provides torque distribution within the transmission. As a planetary gear, it engages with sun and ring gears inside a carrier to transfer rotational power with high torque density, enabling compact gearing in Caterpillar transmissions. The 7G-2493 part is intended to operate within Cat drivetrain assemblies where reliable torque transfer is required in heavy equipment applications. Typical usage scenarios include powertrains and drive systems in Caterpillar equipment that rely on planetary gear reductions to achieve the required gear ratios in a compact package. As a genuine Caterpillar component, 7G-2493 is manufactured to Caterpillar specifications for compatibility with Cat planetary gearsets.
