6Y-9960 Cushion Mount
The Caterpillar 6Y-9960 cushion mount is a robust rubber-metal vibration isolator designed to absorb shock loads and reduce vibration transfer in heavy-duty Caterpillar machinery. Engineered to maintain structural alignment under demanding conditions, this mount plays a critical role in protecting frame assemblies, mounting brackets, and engine or cab support systems from excessive movement.
Constructed from high-resilience rubber bonded to reinforced steel plates, the 6Y-9960 cushion mount provides long-lasting performance by dampening both vertical and torsional vibration. This helps extend the life of surrounding components, reduces noise levels, and contributes to smoother machine operation. In machines where continuous vibration is common—such as dozers, motor graders, loaders, and compactors—the mount helps maintain operational stability and prevents stress-related failures.
The 6Y-9960 cushion mount is also used in various CAT engine, transmission and hydraulic assembly points where vibration control is essential. Its design prevents metal-to-metal contact, reducing fatigue on structural housings and improving machine comfort for the operator. Regular inspection of the mount is recommended to identify signs of wear such as cracking, separation or excessive compression.
Installation is straightforward. Ensure the mounting area is clean, align the cushion mount with its seat, and torque bolts according to manufacturer specifications. Using the correct mount such as Caterpillar 6Y-9960 ensures proper fit, vibration damping and long-term reliability.
Choosing the Caterpillar 6Y-9960 cushion mount provides dependable vibration isolation, enhanced structural protection and improved operational performance across multiple CAT machine platforms.
