How to measure a rubber track?
Sometimes the tracks have the size stamped on the bottom of the track. Numbers are a reference to the Size for example 230x48x70 230 is width, 48 is pitch and 70 is number of links.
What tension is correct for rubber tracks on excavators and why it is so important?
When fitting a new rubber track, the tension must be adjusted to allow a gap from the center bottom roller to the position on the track where the roller runs – see the diagram below.
This gap varies for different machine sizes as follows:
MACHINE SIZE GAP DIMENSION A
0.75 – 1.5 Tonne 10mm
1.5 – 3.0 Tonne 15mm
3.0 – 6.0 Tonne 20mm
6.0 – 7.5 Tonne 25mm
7.5 – 10 Tonne 30mm
Run the track for 10 revolutions in each direction whilst up in the air then re-tension as it will stretch. Run the track normally for 1 hour then re-tension again. After 3 days of operation adjust the tension again and thereafter check it once a week.
