QSX

FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.

The Cummins QSX combines an advanced dual

overhead cam design with proven Cummins heavy-duty
components. The result is dependable performance
without compromise, every hour of every workday.

The dual overhead cam design allows the engineers at

Cummins to optimize combustion efficiency and the Ratings

Features And Benefits.
Cummins QSX has standard features that other
diesel engines can’t even offer as options:
■ Dual Overhead Cams – The first drives the high-
pressure fuel system, the second operates the
intake and exhaust valves.
■ Patented Wastegated Turbo – Maximizes
performance at every rpm.
■ High-Pressure Fuel System – Up to 30,000 psi for
cleaner, more complete combustion.
■ Quantum System Electronic Controls – Optimize
engine performance. The intelligence of the system
even allows you to use a variety of fuel – such as
kerosene when diesel fuel isn’t available.
■ Heavy-Duty Rings, Pistons,
Bearings – Built to last in excess
of 21,000 hours (35% load factor)
with high-strength alloys.
■ Intebrake System – Integrated
engine brake delivers up to 600 bhp for added
control, reduced service brake wear and
maintenance costs.
■ Engine Protection System – Minimizes potential
damage, downtime.
■ Less Downtime – Due to extended
service intervals.
■ Fleetguard ES Oil and Fuel Filters – Allow
®
500-hour service intervals.
■ Optional Water-In-Fuel Sensor – Alerts driver to a sign
of possible water in the fuel filter, contamination that
could cause performance and durability problems.
■ REPTO – Rear Engine Power Take-Off option
delivers up to 400 hp. Available for SAE A, B
and C spline types.
Maintenance.
Oil drain intervals for the Cummins QSX are set
for 625 hours or six months. Filters are vertically
mounted for easy access and rapid changing, with
no messy spills. Polyvee belts have auto-tensioners,
so they never need adjusting. Metallic gaskets
have an edge-molded design for 100% leak-free
operation. Plus, with the QSX you won’t need to
adjust the overhead until 3,000 hours.
Dipsticks and oil fills are available from both sides
of the engine. And there are three drain ports
available, so you never have to worry about having
access to maintenance points.
Cummins QuickCheck III.
Questions about engine information?
Cummins QuickCheck III* puts every
answer in the palm of your hand!
QuickCheck III software, together
with your Palm™** or other
handheld device, reads and
captures engine data quickly and
conveniently from any Cummins
electronic diesel engine
or other engines you
run (via J2587 and
J1939). Use it to check
everything from fuel burned
and total engine hours to
coolant temperature and boost
pressure. QuickCheck III even logs fault codes, which
can be used with Cummins INSITE™ to get detailed
repair instructions for faster service.
*QuickCheck III is compatible with Palm M500, M505, M515, I705 and
Tungsten T handheld devices. For information on hardware compatibility,
please visit us online at http://quickcheck.cummins.com.

Every Installation.
Getting every installation right – the first time – is as
important to Cummins as it is to you. PowerMatch
and Advisor help ensure that we get it right,
every time.
Cummins PowerMatch.
Cummins partners with OEM engineers to test and
match the power of the QSX engine to specific
equipment models and applications. We use our
advanced electronics to shape power curves and
ratings to match the jobs your equipment will be doing,
taking into account the working environment, load
factors, ambient temperatures and operating modes.
Then we optimize the engine’s performance with other
vehicle components, using Advisor.
Cummins Advisor.
Getting every
installation right – the
first time – is what
Cummins Advisor is all
about. Advisor software
builds a virtual model to make
sure every system (air, intake, exhaust, cooling, etc.)
is integrated for optimum performance. It takes into
account everything from load factors to operating
climates to duty cycles – then identifies systems or
components that could negatively impact reliability –
listing alternatives that will deliver the performance
you expect the first time – every time.
