PM102 Caterpillar PM102 Specifications & Technical Data (2008—2026)

C7 Engine with ACERT Technology

ACERT Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance and provide low exhaust emissions. The C7 engine with ACERT Technology provides clean burning power.

Optimum power

The engine performs at a full-rated gross power of 168 kW (228 hp) at 2200 rpm. Engine power curve is optimized for milling applications providing optimum power while keeping the engine operating at peak efficiency.

High cylinder pressures

High cylinder pressures combined with tightly controlled tolerances promote extremely efficient fuel burn, less blow by and lower emissions.

Precise multiple injection fuel delivery

Combustion chamber temperatures are lowered by precisely shaping the combustion cycle generating fewer emissions and optimizing fuel combustion; translating into more work output for your fuel cost.

Turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooling

High horsepower with increased response time is assured while keeping exhaust temperatures low for long hours of continuous operation.

The ADEM™ A4 electronic control module

This module manages fuel delivery, valve timing and airflow for efficient performance per liter of fuel used. The control module provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs. It keeps track of engine and machine conditions while keeping the engine operating at peak efficiency.

Rotor Drive

A Cat dry clutch with automatic belt tension adjustment delivers efficient and reliable power to the pavement. The rotor drive consists of field-proven Caterpillar components for long service life.

Serviceability

The power-assisted engine hood opens wide and provides exceptional access to the engine, hydraulic pumps and daily service points. Hydraulic rotor service door provides convenient access to the rotor for easy cutting tool removal and replacement. The rotor service door also provides easy access to the water spray nozzles for inspection and replacement without the need for tools.

Mechanical Dry Clutch

The rotor drive consists of trapezoid pulleys, molded high-strength belt and a hydraulic-coupling dry clutch. The field-proven drive system delivers reliability and long service life.

Drive Train Protection

A drive train protection device protects rotor drive system, rotor and tools by instantly disengaging rotor drive whenever an abrupt drop in rotor rpm occurs.

Carbide-Tipped Tools

Tools are mounted in durable three-piece, quick release tool holders and arranged in a triple wrap flighting pattern for maximum breakout force.

Optimum Tool Spacing

Triple-tree tool placement on rotor ends provides optimum tool spacing to clean up loose material and reduces wear on drum when maneuvering in the cut.

Loading Conveyor

The PM102 features a folding front loading conveyor for easy transportation. The conveyor swings 41 degrees to the left or right to meet your job requirements.

Anti-slab and Collecting Conveyor

A large discharge opening and wide collecting conveyor belt clear out the cuter box fast. Water spray system for lubrication, cooling and dust reduction.

Automatic Grade and Slope Controls

The optional grade and slope systems provide precise control of rotor to a preset cutting depth and cross slope. Remote mounted control boxes allow simple operation from either the operator’s station or ground level.

Two Cutting Speeds

Upper and lower pulleys are easily interchangeable for maximum torque with the toughest materials and different material sizing requirements.

Large Replaceable Carbide Faced Loading Paddles

Loading paddles effectively move milled material onto collecting conveyor resulting in higher production and less wear on inside of rotor chamber and cutting tools.

Pressurized Water Spray System

Standard water spray lubricates cutting tools and controls dust within the rotor chamber. Water spray nozzles are easily removed for inspection and replacement without the need for tools.

Automatic Grade and Slope Control Option

Wire grade sensor measures side plate movement that enables the entire length of the side plate to become an averaging device for accurate grade matching. Cross-slope sensor adds to system versatility. Two control boxes located at the operator’s station allow manual or automatic leveling adjustment. Constant read-out for rotor depth and cross-slope are displayed on each control box and is easily visible even in direct sunlight.

Conveyor System

Collecting conveyor is driven by a high torque hydraulic motor that ensures even belt tracking and clears out the rotor housing effectively. Variable belt speed for collecting and front loading conveyors controls loading of milled materials to closely match material type and amount. Both conveyors feature reversible belt rotation for quick clean out. Folding front loading conveyor facilitates machine transportation.

Grade and Slope Control

Machine elevation – rotor depth and cross slope is manually controlled by operator. Automatic rotor depth and slope control is optional and features electronic over hydraulic control. System can be configured with grade and slope sensors. Slope sensor adds versatility.

Features

Machine elevation controls located on the operator’s console allows rotor depth and cross slope to be controlled manually. Visual depth gauge displays depth of cut. The optional AUTOMATIC grade and slope controls automatically control rotor depth and cross slope to a preset cutting depth. Setting cutting depth is easily accomplished first in manual mode by using the adjustment knob on the controller. Contacting (yo-yo) grade sensor measures side plate movement.

Steering Right Rear Track

Compact dimension and steering right rear track provides optimum machine handling. The steering right rear track feature also facilitates precise control and operation in confined areas.

Flush Cutting Feature

Flush cutting operation with hydraulic control allows the PM102 to be used up close to a curb, wall or guard rail.

Positive Traction Control

Equal hydraulic oil flow to each drive motor increases tractive effort in hard cutting applications and in slippery conditions. The positive traction control is actuated from the operator’s console.

PM102 - Wheel Undercarriage

The hydrostatic transmission on all four wheels, via a flow divider, and self levelling front axle ensure positive traction and optimum performance in all applications. The large, wide tread tyres provide optimum maneuverability on tight curves and traction when driving in and out of the trench. The high travel speed of the PM102 reduces repositioning times and machine transfer on the jobsite. The right rear wheel support can be swung in within the machine’s cutting width for full flush cutting applications. With the right rear wheel swung in, the machine can cut close to a wall, barrier or other vertical obstruction.

Operator’s Station

Ergonomic design emphasizes comfort, visibility and easy operation. Machine controls are grouped and conveniently located to enhance operator productivity and reduce fatigue.
