GCI CARTRIDGE TECHNOLOGY | LEGACY INJECTOR TECHNOLOGY (-1, -1X, -V TYPE INJECTORS) | ||
---|---|---|---|
Injector Replacement Process | Takes seconds with a 24 mm or 15/16 in. wrench or socket; no need to remove any lubrication lines. | Requires disconnecting lube lines, multiple tools and oftentimes removal of adjacent injector lube lines to replace inside injectors on a manifold. | |
Repair Time | Less than 1 minute | Several minutes | |
Output Volume Range | 0.015–0.150 cubic inches | 0.015–0.08 cubic inches | |
Output Adjustment | Color-coded threaded output spacers that are fastened to the manifold determine the volume dispensed. There are eight different outputs to choose from and they remain on the manifold during a cartridge replacement ensuring the correct output after service. | Infinitely adjustable but must count thread turns and convert that to desired output. Often adjusted improperly after replacement. Color-coded slipon spacers are available but must be swapped over to new injector during replacement. | |
Shot-to-Shot Accuracy | +/– 3% | +/– 25% | |
Indicator Pin | 360-degree view of high-visibility colored pin | Limited view through machined hole in top nut |
An investment in an automatic lubrication system for a typical piece of yellow iron, such as the Caterpillar 320 excavator, has an estimated ROI of as little as nine months. – ©Graco
