Product Overview — Part 1487116
The 1487116 is a precision-manufactured Engine Cushion / Rubber Mount component for demanding industrial and heavy equipment applications. Anti-vibration engine mount for Hitachi heavy excavators. High-load capacity with superior shock absorption for demanding jobsite conditions.
The 1487116 is optimized for high-load applications where peak engine torques and dynamic shock inputs exceed standard rubber mount ratings. The compound uses a natural rubber and synthetic blend with an elevated hardness setting (65 Shore A) to prevent excessive deflection under maximum engine load while maintaining sufficient compliance in the low-load idle range. Fatigue life testing confirms 2,000,000+ cycles at rated load amplitude without failure.

Installation & Maintenance
- Verify on arrival: Confirm part number 1487116. Inspect for transit damage or surface defects — reject any non-conforming item.
- Prepare mating surfaces: Remove all rust, old rubber residue, grease, and loose paint. Flatness tolerance within 0.5 mm for proper seating.
- Correct orientation: Follow the assembly drawing or OEM workshop manual. Incorrect orientation causes premature failure and may void warranty.
- Torque fasteners: Use a calibrated torque wrench with a cross-pattern tightening sequence to the OEM-specified value.
- Post-installation check: Inspect for correct seating and gap clearance. Run equipment at idle to confirm absence of abnormal noise or vibration.
Recommended replacement interval: 3,000–5,000 operating hours or at first sign of cracking, permanent deformation exceeding 3 mm, or detachment of rubber from metal insert.
