Trasteel Track Tensioners

Trasteel offers a complete range of track adjusters designed to ensure proper chain tension and extend the service life of the undercarriage. Trasteel tensioning units combine a recoil spring and a grease cylinder, providing an efficient solution to maintain your excavator’s optimal performance.

Trasteel track adjusters are designed to absorb impacts and ensure that the chain maintains the correct tension, minimizing wear on the undercarriage.

Proper chain tension is essential to prevent premature wear and ensure your machine operates efficiently under demanding working conditions.

Trasteel Track Adjusters

Tensioning units designed to maximize undercarriage durability

Impact absorption: Trasteel adjusters are designed to absorb shocks during daily operations, reducing undercarriage wear.
Proper tensioning: The recoil spring stretches to 60–70% of the machine’s weight, keeping the chain properly tensioned at all times.
Durability and efficiency: High-quality materials ensure a long service life and consistent performance.
Compatibility: We offer a wide range of adjusters compatible with nearly all standard excavator models on the market.

Identifying Track Adjuster Issues

It’s important to recognize signs of adjuster issues early to avoid major undercarriage damage. Here are some of the most common problems:

Loose chain: If the chain cannot be tightened further, the adjuster may have reached its limit. This is often visible when the idler side plates protrude from the frame.
Broken spring rod: If the chain remains tight without adding grease, the recoil spring rod may be broken.
Seal leaks: If the grease cylinder is not sealed properly, the chain will not tension correctly due to grease leakage.

Track Adjuster Maintenance

Regular maintenance of track adjusters is essential for maximizing their service life and ensuring your machine operates efficiently. Key tips include:

Chain tension inspection: Check regularly to ensure the chain is properly tensioned. Incorrect tension accelerates chain and undercarriage wear.
Leak inspection: Ensure there are no grease leaks. If detected, replace seals promptly to avoid further issues.
Timely replacement: Replace worn or damaged adjusters before they impact overall undercarriage performance.
