SDD7 diesel locomotive is a kind of mainline passenger and freight diesel locomotive with AC-DC transmission. It is equipped with CAT 3516B diesel engine at the rated power of 1678W; with DC transmission and double microcomputer control system; the double drivers cabs are of inside corridor; the bogie adopts three driving axles which are driven separately, U tube suspension traction motor, same orientation arrangement, the locating of pull rod for axle box, frame welding, enter pin traction; the locomotive adopts piston air compressor, direct traction by diesel engine, air braking system is of 26L. The maximum rated power (main input power) of the locomotive is 1678W, the maximum starting tractive effort is 320kN, the continuous tractive effort is 200kN, the maximum running speed is 120km/h, the locomotive is capable of double heading in consist. The axle load is 18.5t.
SDD7 diesel locomotive features performance of anti-slip and anti-slide, with high efficiency of wheel rim and high speed of staring, its dynamic performance and brake performance is well. The design, manufacture and assembly of the locomotive are modularized, and convenient for inspection and maintenance. The locomotive has two hook buffer systems, Scharfemberg full automatic coupler and screw coupling plus side buffer.
