These components are formed from processed, heat-treated from rolled steel (specialty steel) and fastened to link belts with nuts and bolts. They must be tough and durable enough to survive continuous contact with the ground.
Construction vehicles are divided into two types: those that ride on automobile-type tires, and those that ride on steel belts. The steel belts used in the latter type are called tracks.
Compared to tires, tracks have a greater surface area coming into contact with the ground, which greatly reduces the weight exerted on each unit of area (the ground contact pressure distribution). This prevents vehicles from sinking on wet earth and poor road surfaces and allows them to traverse different types of terrain.
Links are one of the components that make up tracks. They form the main part of the track, connecting adjacent links to the pins and bush shoes
Pins are joint components that serve to connect one link to another. Since pins bear the weight of the vehicle through the bush, strength is a key factor.
Bushes are cylindrical components into which the pins are inserted to ensure joints move smoothly. The inside slides along with the pin, while the outside slides with the sprocket. Thus, they must be highly resistant to wear.
These blade components are attached to the edges of buckets on construction machinery used in road paving, rock crushing, snow removal, and livestock raising.
City pads are rubber components developed to combine the best qualities of iron and rubber tracks into one package.
Rollers are cylindrical components installed on the inner side of tracks. They are strong enough to support the weight of the entire vehicle, and serve as guides for track motion.
