Light honing
• Detects and corrects minor cylinder bore damage
(up to .010”)
• Restores cylinder tube surface (cross hatch) to
original finish
• Removed the extras based on historical averages from the base price
resulting in more of a repair-based price.
• If a customer wants a fixed price up-front, the dealer can still provide them
with a quote based on a visual inspection. This same concept applied to the
old pricing methodology as well.

Piston Pumps
Caterpillar piston pump applications have been highly
refined to satisfy ever demanding customer needs for
reduced hydraulic system density, increase service life
goals, and improve overall value. Caterpillar designs
remain on the cutting edge of technology for computer
simulation and analysis, resulting in highly refined,
customized pump and motor designs. The piston pumps
utilized in Caterpillar machines reflect a long relationship of
collaborative teamwork and relentless drive toward
continuous improvement. This level of collaboration has
achieved depth of technical understandings such that
teams know the detailed tradeoffs in minute parametric
features, and customize each pump to optimize life in its Piston
particular application.
