Cummins QSK60 Mining Diesel Engine for Excavators

Product Overview-Cummins QSK60 Engine For Sale

The Cummins QSK60 is a V16 large-displacement diesel engine engineered specifically for large-scale mining and heavy-duty operating conditions. Designed to deliver high power output, long service life, and stable performance, the QSK60 is widely used in mining excavators, mining haul trucks, and stationary mining power systems.
With a proven platform design and Cummins’ global service and parts support network, the QSK60 has become a reliable power solution for open-pit mines, metal mining projects, and large earthmoving operations, where equipment uptime and long-term operating cost are critical.

Core Technology Highlights

High-Pressure Common Rail Fuel System (MCRS)

The Cummins Modular Common Rail Fuel System (MCRS) delivers injection pressures of up to ~1600 bar, enabling precise fuel control. This results in improved combustion efficiency, faster engine response, and better fuel economy under heavy load conditions.

Advanced Electronic Control – Quantum ECM

The Quantum Electronic Control Module (ECM) continuously monitors and manages fuel injection, engine speed, and overall engine health. This advanced electronic control enhances operational stability, reliability, and consistency in demanding mining environments.

Pre-Lubrication System (Prelub)

The integrated pre-lubrication system builds oil pressure before engine start-up, significantly reducing dry-start wear. This feature is particularly valuable for large mining equipment with frequent cold starts, helping extend overall engine service life.

Reinforced Mechanical Design

The QSK60 features a hardened large camshaft, high-strength components, and heat- and pressure-resistant cylinder assemblies, ensuring reliable performance during prolonged high-load and continuous operation typical of mining applications.

Advanced Monitoring and Diagnostics

Enhanced sensors and data logging capabilities allow real-time monitoring of combustion and engine operating conditions, supporting predictive maintenance and early fault detection, which helps reduce unplanned downtime.

QSK60 Engine Application

Application Case: Komatsu PC4000-11 Mining Excavator

In large open-pit mining projects, the Cummins QSK60 has been applied on the Komatsu PC4000-11 ultra-class mining excavator platform, meeting the requirements of high-intensity, long-duration continuous operation. Equipment at this level is commonly used in iron ore, copper, and coal mines, where power reserve, engine stability, and serviceability are critical.

Key value in this application includes:

1.Providing stable and sufficient power output for 400-ton-class mining excavators
2.Maintaining consistent speed and torque under continuous heavy loads, minimizing power derating
3.A mature engine platform suitable for long-term mine site operation and planned maintenance programs

This type of application is typically seen in specific market configurations, project-based installations, or engine replacement solutions, with final selection depending on local emission regulations, maintenance systems, and project lifecycle requirements.

Mining Haul Trucks / Power Modules

Within large-scale mine haulage systems, the QSK60 is also used as the core power unit for mining dump trucks or power modules:
1.High torque output suitable for heavy-load hauling and uphill operation
2.Excellent stability for multi-shift, continuous duty cycles
3.Reduced risk of unplanned downtime through proven durability
Typical value: In operations where Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key concern, the QSK60 delivers more predictable operating and maintenance costs over the equipment lifecycle.

Stationary Mining Power Systems

In remote mining areas or regions with limited grid power availability, the QSK60 is frequently integrated into stationary power or power generation systems:
1.Suitable for crushers, conveyor systems, and auxiliary mining equipment
2.Supports continuous operation with high load demand
3.Mature design allows easier localized maintenance and servicing
Typical value: Ensures stable operation of critical mine infrastructure while reducing the risk of production interruptions.
