Track shoes and pads are one of the chassis parts of engineering machinery and are consumable parts of old engineering machinery. There are holes at both ends of the track shoes and pads, which mesh with the driving wheel, and there are induction teeth in the middle, which are used to straighten the track and prevent the track from falling off when the excavator turns or tilts. There are reinforced anti-skid ribs (referred to as patterns) on the side in contact with the ground to improve the firmness of the track shoes and pads and the adhesion between the track and the ground.
The walking part of a small excavator consists of a sprocket, a supporting wheel, a driving wheel and a track chain link. After running for a certain period of time, these parts will show a certain degree of wear. If you pay attention to daily maintenance, you can reduce the wear between the parts and extend the service life of the small excavator.
So how to maintain the track of a small excavator? We Huayang have summarized the following points for you:
1. If you walk on the inclined ground repeatedly for a long time and turn suddenly, the side of the track chain link will contact the side of the driving wheel and the guide wheel, thereby increasing the degree of wear. Therefore, avoid walking on inclined areas or turning suddenly as much as possible. Straight travel and large turns can effectively prevent wear.
2. If you continue to use it when some of the sprockets and rollers cannot operate, it may cause the rollers to wear out and may also cause wear of the track chain links. If you find a roller that cannot operate, you should repair it immediately! In this way, you can avoid other faults.
3. The mounting bolts of the rollers and sprockets, the bolts of the track shoes and pads, the mounting bolts of the drive wheels, the bolts of the walking pipes, etc. are easily loosened due to vibration after the machine has been working for a long time.
If you continue to operate the machine when the bolts of the track shoes and padsof the small excavator are loose, it may even cause a gap between the track shoes and pads and the bolts, which will cause cracks in the track shoes and pads. Moreover, the gap may also increase the bolt hole between the crawler and the track chain link, resulting in the consequence that the crawler and track chain links cannot be tightened and have to be replaced. When using the excavator track shoes and pads, if you can regularly check and tighten the bolts and nuts, you can reduce unnecessary maintenance costs.
Daily maintenance is important, but the material used for excavator track shoes and pads is equally important. We at Huayang use high-alloy steel, which strictly complies with European standards to ensure the reliability and durability of the product from the source. High-alloy steel has excellent impact and wear resistance, can maintain stable performance under complex working conditions, and effectively extend the service life of track shoes and pads. In addition, the materials selected by Huayang are strictly tested from the time they enter the factory to the time they are shipped out of the warehouse.
