EMD 567

1. 본문

The EMD 567 is a line of large, medium-speed diesel engines built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division (EMD). It's a two-stroke engine that was used in EMD locomotives from 1938 until 1966, when it was replaced by the EMD 645.

Here are some key facts about the EMD 567:

• Designation: The "567" in the name refers to the displacement of each cylinder in cubic inches (9.29 L).
• Production Years: 1938 to 1965.
• Manufacturer: Electro-Motive Division (EMD), a division of General Motors (GM).
• Applications: Primarily used in locomotives, but also in marine and stationary applications.
• Cylinder Configurations: Produced in 6, 8, 12, and 16 cylinder versions.
• Successor: EMD 645.
• Key Features:
• Two-stroke cycle operation.
• Modular design, with many interchangeable components.
• Known for its reliability and ease of maintenance.
• Variations: Several variations of the 567 engine were produced, including the 567B, 567C, and 567D. The 567C introduced a redesigned crankcase.

The EMD 567 engine is considered legendary for its role in transitioning railroads from steam to diesel power. Even though it is no longer in production, many 567 engines (and the locomotives they power) are still in use or preserved today due to their ruggedness and reliability.
