Idler Wheels

• High-quality steel: Manufactured with a special steel alloy, our tensioning idler wheels are robust and durable, ensuring optimal performance even in extreme working conditions.
• Advanced heat treatment: Induction hardening ensures that the idler wheel maintains its hardness over time, reducing premature wear.
• High-quality seals: Our wheels are assembled with custom-designed seals that protect against oil leaks and ensure a longer service life.
• Comprehensive quality control system: The assembly process includes rigorous crack and leakage tests, ensuring that each tensioning idler wheel is in perfect working condition.
• Optimized design for bulldozers and excavators: Our tensioning idler wheels are designed to maximize chain contact, ensuring optimal guidance and reducing wear.

Recognizing Wear Patterns

Wear on tensioning idler wheels is inevitable with heavy use, but identifying wear patterns early can help prevent major issues. Below are some key indicators of wear:

• Tread wear: When the hardened part of the tread wears out completely, it is necessary to replace the idler wheel to avoid damage to the undercarriage.
• Lateral wear of the teeth: If the sides of the teeth are worn or the wheel rubs against the side of the frame, it may indicate that the chain is not properly aligned with the tensioning idler wheel.
• Frame damage: An open frame, worn side plates, or a broken shaft can cause additional wear on the idler wheel and compromise its performance.

Maintenance of Tensioning Idler Wheels

To prolong the service life of tensioning idler wheels and avoid unnecessary downtime, it is essential to perform regular maintenance. Here are some key tips for maintaining these wheels:

• Regular inspection: Periodically check the condition of the tread and teeth to detect early signs of wear.
• Chain adjustment: Make sure the chain is correctly aligned with the idler wheel to prevent lateral wear and potential failures in the guide wheel.
• Proper lubrication: Keep the wheels well lubricated and check for oil leaks, as these can compromise performance.
