The world is full of uncertainties, from weather predictions to economic forecasts. But you can always count on Cummins QSC-powered equipment to pull you through. Cummins QSC engines are built on one of the world’s most successful – and durable – engine block designs. In fact, there are over three quarters of a million in use around the globe every day.
The QSC advanced electronics provide enhanced engine performance with higher torque and better throttle response at every rpm. Electronic engine control provides additional advantages that include increased fuel economy, precision diagnostics and engine protection. And the impressive durability of the QSC is enhanced by long maintenance intervals, improved cold starting plus up to 50% quieter operation for improved operator comfort.
The QSC meets every Tier 3/Stage IIIA emissions standard without compromise. There’s no fuel economy penalty when compared to Tier 2 mechanical engines.
Plus, its in-cylinder solution is simpler than other alternatives, giving the QSC the capability to meet Tier 4/Stage IV emissions with the addition of aftertreatment. With its ideal combination of electronic controls and durable block design, the QSC is ready to meet every one of your toughest applications.
Features and Benefits
Standard features include:
- Full-Authority Electronic Controls – Provide seamless integration with other components to optimize engine operation.
- Stiffer Block and Head – For reduced noise and vibration. Fluid circuits are integrated, replacing hoses and eliminating potential leaks.
- High Pressure Common Rail Fuel System – Allows multiple injection events for cleaner, quieter operation with consistent performance at every rpm. Also improves cold-weather starting.
- Wastegated Turbocharger – Delivers maximum power and torque.
- Mid-Stop Cylinder Liners – Reduce cavitation and improve rebuildability.
- Auto-Tensioning Belt Drive – Self-adjusting for optimum tension, which increases fan, alternator and fan belt life.
- Heavy-Duty Roller Followers – Cam roller followers give the QSC superior durability and cam life.
- Two-Stage Dual Fuel Filtration – Provides a balanced level of particle separation to maximize fuel filter life and protect the vital fuel system components.
- Gear Housing Design and Front-End Support – The gear housing and accessories mount directly to the block for improved durability.
- Improved Piston Design – Symmetrical piston bowl combines with centered injectors to deliver optimal combustion.
- Heavy-Duty Lube System – Targeted piston cooling and increased lube flow to the power cylinder result in increased piston reliability and durability. Improved lube and bypass filtration system increase ring and bearing life by as much as 63%.
- Improved Crankcase Ventilation – Virtually eliminates oil carryover.
- Valve Cover and Gasket – Isolated design with perimeter bolting for better sealing and improved reliability.
Options
- 12- or 24-volt electrical capacity.
- Front-mount accessory drive option available for hydraulic pumps or air compressors.
- Rear Engine Power Take-Off (REPTO) available for hydraulic pumps or air compressors.
Performance
The QSC 24-valve cylinder head, High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system and robust electronic controls make for a completely programmable, highly durable, highly fuel-efficient power plant. With one of the highest power-to-weight ratios and lowest cost of operation of any engine in its class. And ratings that range from 215-305 hp (160-227 kW) to deliver the power and the versatility you need to match your equipment. Every time.
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 Advisor
Getting every installation right is what Cummins Advisor is all about. Advisor puts a virtual engineer on the OEM team, allowing the OEM to focus on machine requirements instead of engine requirements. This shortens engineering cycle times and cost. Cummins Advisor models equipment installation for exceptional productivity, reliability and durability.
After a comprehensive review of load factors, climates, duty cycle and equipment usage, Advisor recommends the best engine and rating match for the equipment and operating conditions. It then builds a virtual model of the intake, exhaust, cooling, fuel and mounting systems.
When Advisor identifies an issue, it lists acceptable alternatives. This approach allows changes while the equipment design is still “on paper,” ensuring optimum performance while minimizing costs – every time.
Cummins PowerMatch
PowerMatch helps OEMs optimize engine performance so you can lower fuel consumption, increase operator satisfaction, improve equipment life and protect the customer’s investment. PowerMatch tailors engine performance to specific equipment models and applications. Advanced electronics are used to enhance power curves and trim ratings, matching the job the equipment will be doing while taking into account variables such as work environment, load factors, ambient temperature and altitude.
PowerMatch can also be used to create a unique torque curve, set up alternate torque curves, alternate governor settings or set up engine protection features.
Turn on the Boost Power feature, and the equipment user gets an extra burst of power needed to get through tough spots – but only for as long as needed – so fuel economy and durability are not compromised.
Because PowerMatch allows for immediate field–testing of new calibrations, application engineers can quickly develop the optimum calibration for every customer.
QuickServe® Online
As a Cummins owner, you have access to one of the most comprehensive and powerful parts and service tools in the industry – Cummins QuickServe Online.
This is the same web site used by Cummins certified technicians to get parts and service information about your engine. And while it contains parts and service data for 9 million engines, finding the information for your QSL engine takes just seconds.
The first step is to register your engine (free). Enter the engine serial number listed on your data plate and you will be able to view an online Owner’s Manual, the parts catalog for your engine, engine data plate information and more. QuickServe Online even gives exploded parts diagrams to help with identification of components in subassemblies.
For an annual subscription fee you can become a “Preferred Customer” with access to a cross-reference of Cummins ReCon® parts, service bulletins and the latest repair procedures.
Preferred Customers can use the shopping cart feature to view price and availability of the parts you need at your nearest Cummins distributor. Contact information is available online so you can review your parts list with a Cummins distributor and make sure you have every part you need to complete your engine repair.

INSITE™ And INFORM™
Cummins INSITE software makes every service technician’s job easier. Not only does it include stepby- step engine diagnostics, it includes built-in drawings and diagrams to improve troubleshooting and repair accuracy.
INFORM extracts raw data from your ECM and converts it into useful reports on everything from fuel use to operator performance. It creates exception and comparison reports, and even lets you break the data down by fleet, subfleet, operator, equipment and time period. This detailed analysis can help you improve efficiency, reliability and safety.
Base Warranty
QSC engines come with a full 2-year/2,000-hour warranty that covers all Cummins branded components, including electrics such as starters and alternators. Major components coverage continues into the third year, up to 10,000 hours of operation from the time your QSC engine goes in service.
