    Main differences
    between rubber chain for excavator and compact track loader

    - CTL chain for fast speed, designed for higher travel speed

    - CTL chains rolling on the inner side


    of the rubber part

    - excavator chains rolling on core metal

    When the track is under


    abnormal stress such as
    excessive tension, failure
    occurs at the ends of the
    overlap area
    Advatages: - Spiral structure,- no overlap
    - Smooth running
    New: Spiral structure also for - Constant stress distribution
    excavator tracks at higher tensile load
    Disadavtages:
    - Higher production costs

    CTL 1101

    Gives a good ride comfort through the tapered shape


    of the running surface
    WN models: 8003

    Avon use there own patented system where the steel cord
    interlocks; this gives also a perfect ride comfort
    WN models: 803 1703, 28Z3, 50Z3

    Reference (apr02)
    By interlocking adjacent core metals the track
    benefits from more lateral stiffness.

    Increased rust protection by advanced anti
    rust steel cord; e.g. fluid inlet through cut in the
    rubber surface
    WN models: 2503, 75Z3

    CTL 1101

    The use of Anti-Cut Rubber compound minimizes


    significantly the cut damage and chunking caused
    by sharp objects.
    WN models: 14504

    Reference (apr02)
    Damages
    Steel cord brakage

    Causes of damage
    - Steel cord damage
    - Over tension
    - Combination of both

    Circumstances for steel cord damage:


    When a rubber track gets a cut and / or crack that reaches the steel cords
    When debris such as: Sand, rocks and packed soil enter undercarriage steel cord abrasion
    can occur
    When moisture and strong chemicals reach the steel cords corrosion can occur
    Reference (apr02)
    Circumstances for over tension:
    When recoil / tensioning system is not functioning properly.

    When large objects enter undercarriage such as:


    Rocks, timber, debris, or packing of foreign materials

    When a rubber track detracks; it can get locked between


    the undercarriage and the main body of the machine

    Prevention:
    Periodic tension monitoring
    Watch terrain carefully and avoid sharp, hard and large objects
    Avoid unnecessary quick and hard turns to prevent detracking

    Reference (apr02)
    Dirt packing wear

    Circumstances
    Dirt, stones and debris packing on
    undercarriage frame will become
    hard and abrasive when dry
    Once build up accumulates and reaches
    the rubber tracks motion, the
    abrasion caused by the packing will lead to premature
    wear.

    Preventation
    Remove dirt packing from undercarriage frame
    Periodic cleaning of undercarriage is recommended

    Reference (apr02)
    Ozone cracks
    Small cracks on root of tread

    Ozone cracks are a natural aging


    phenomenon of rubber
    Sea shores, snow areas, cold temperatures and
    sun rays are well known causes that accelerate
    ozone cracks

    Prevention:
    Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and precipitations as descripted (e.g.indoor storage)

    Reference (apr02)
    Tread wear

    Replacement is recommended
    if tread height is less than 5 mm
    Replace rubber track if steel
    cords are exposed

    Prevention:
    Avoid unnecessary sharp turns, track spinning and overloading
    Minimize hard surface operation

    Reference (apr02)
    Edge cut
    Parallel cuts alomg side edge

    Riding over a curb at an angle will


    cut the track at tip of steel embed

    Prevention:
    When driving over curbs or steps, approach at a 90 angle

    Pro Edge system helps to minimize edge cuts

    Reference (apr02)
    Roller edge scratch
    The edge scratch is made by the under-
    carriage components such as track rollers
    and outer running type idlers

    When the machine is primarily used under


    heavy loaded conditions or dozing operations
    where the rear idler is standing the scratch
    intensifies

    Prevention:
    Avoid pin point rear loading
    Monitor roller and idler edges to make sure edges are not worn sharp

    Reference (apr02)
    Inner rubber chipping

    This is a natural aging phenomenon of rubber tracks


    Rock, stone, gravel and crushed concrete are well
    known causes of inner rubber chipping
    Track rollers ride over materials on the roller path;
    the pressure of the roller on the materials cuts the
    rubber and these will extend over time

    Prevention
    Avoid sharp turns to minimize catching debris in the undercarriage
    Avoid pin-point rear loading by not digging too deep

    Reference (apr02)
    Steel embed separation

    Several causes for this damage:


    - If steel embed is hit, either directly by
    roller/idler or interfacing with debris,
    the steel embed receives inertia
    energy such as weight and speed (Fig.1)
    - Detracking (Fig. 2)
    - Worn sprocket (Fig.3)

    Prevention:
    Tension monitoring
    Regular cleaning of undercarriage
    Replace sprocket and other undercarriage components if worn

    Reference (apr02)
    Steel embed wear
    Causes:
    - Sandy condition
    - Over tension
    - Improper sprocket dimension
    and/or profile by wear

    Wear - limits

    Prevention:
    Periodic tension monitoring
    Minimize machine operation in sandy conditions

    Hybrid tracks (Bridgestone)

    WN models: 6003, 75Z3, 8003, 14504

    Advantages:

    Benefits of steel- and rubber track in one


    Higher durability compared to rubber tracks because
    of stronger rubber compound
    Well self cleaning
    Special treated material for the core metal
    Easy change over from steel to hybrid track; only the steel plates must be replaced by
    the hybrid pads

    Reference (apr02)
    Design:
    For each track side are e.g. 39 pads (for 6003) on a steel chain belt
    (same as for a steel track) mounted

    Tension roller and idler are the same as on the steel track
    Thanks to this mounting system, best stability is achieved
    (No shift or losing of the pads compared to Clip on pads)

    Reference (apr02)
    Interlocking design reduces the build-up of sand, gravel, rocks
    and other material or objects in and around the undercarriage,
    thereby avoiding premature damage

    The special rounded profile wing design combined with the


    tapered rubber tread lug profile disperse stress concentrations
    which significantly reduces edge-cut damage caused by riding
    over curbs or sharp obstacles

    Reference (apr02)
    The core metals are embedded in athick super
    abrasion-resistant rubber compound which
    provides a highly robust and durable solution for
    tracked machines
