Functionality of ITR Tensioning Wheels
The function of the tensioning wheel is to properly tension and guide the track chain, ensuring its proper winding. The tensioning wheel and tensioner work together to maintain a specified degree of track tension. Efficient chain tensioning is a key factor affecting the durability of the undercarriage. The optimal sag for conventional tracks is about 50mm (+-5mm). For example, a track in an 80-horsepower machine with a sag of 12mm will have a tension of 2540 kg when measured in the track tensioner. However, the same machine, at the suggested sag of 50mm, will have a tension of 362 kg. An overly tensioned track increases pressure, leading to greater wear on the track bushing and sprocket teeth, as well as contact between the chain and the tensioning wheel and rollers. Appropriate tread hardness, equal to or greater than that of the chain links and support and carrier rollers, ensures impact resistance and balanced durability. Material: SCMn3A, hardening 50-55 HRC. Constant lubrication minimizes maintenance throughout the service life.
