Component Specifications

Definition
Track rollers (bottom rollers) are precision-engineered rotating components installed along the lower frame of tracked vehicle undercarriages. They bear the machine's weight while maintaining proper track tension and alignment, reducing friction between the track chain and frame during operation. These rollers feature sealed bearing assemblies, hardened wearing surfaces, and standardized mounting configurations for durability in demanding environments.
Working Principle
Track rollers operate on rotational bearing principles, converting sliding friction between the track chain and undercarriage frame into rolling friction. As the track chain moves, the rollers rotate on their axles, distributing load evenly across multiple contact points while minimizing energy loss and component wear through controlled motion transfer.
Materials
Forged alloy steel (typically SAE 4140/4340), through-hardened to 55-60 HRC; Seals: Nitrile rubber with steel reinforcement; Bearings: Tapered roller bearings with lithium-based grease; Optional coatings: Hard chrome plating (0.05-0.10mm) for corrosion resistance.

  • Width 70-120mm
  • Diameter 150-300mm
  • Seal Type Labyrinth with floating seals
  • Load Capacity 8-25 tons per roller
  • Lubrication Interval 500-1000 operating hours
  • Operating Temperature -40°C to 120°C
Standards
ISO 286-2, DIN 7154, ISO 3448
