CATERPILLAR CS663E STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS663E is a static smooth drum roller designed for heavy compaction tasks. It features a robust Caterpillar 3056E turbocharged, six-cylinder, 366.2 cu in (6.0 L) diesel engine delivering 173 hp gross power and 165 hp net power, ensuring high performance and reliability. The machine weighs 37,699 lbs and has an operating width of 93 inches, with an overall length of approximately 19.7 feet and a height of 10 feet to the top of the cab. Its ground clearance is 20.7 inches, with a tight inside turning radius of 145 inches for maneuverability on construction sites. The CS663E’s primary compaction component is a 60-inch diameter and 84.1-inch wide smooth drum that generates significant centrifugal forces: 74,637 lbs at high frequency and 37,318 lbs at low frequency. It maintains a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches and a vibration frequency of 1,800 vpm, optimizing soil density efficiently. The static linear load is 773.8 pounds per inch, enhancing compaction effectiveness. Equipped for operational endurance, it holds 79.3 gallons of fuel, 9.3 gallons of cooling fluid, 3.7 gallons of engine oil, and 21.2 gallons of hydraulic fluid. The maximum speed is 7.1 mph, powered by a 24-volt electrical system with a 55-amp alternator. Tires measure 587x660 mm, suited for stability and traction. The CS663E combines durability, powerful compaction capability, and operator comfort for extensive use in asphalt and soil compaction projects.
