Our Idler wheels are designed to meet all work requirements in tough conditions, providing reliability and long life.
Quality of ITR Tension Wheels
Our range includes a wide selection of tension wheels, from mini excavators to mining machines, ensuring high quality and performance. Starting from KUBOTA® K008 (with an operating weight of 0.9 tons) up to KOMATSU® D475 A5 (with an operating weight of 101 tons), we offer comprehensive solutions. Our engineering and R&D departments in Italy, South Korea, and China collaborate to combine know-how, technology, and development capabilities. Local engineering departments in each production facility have specialized knowledge of the components produced, and the headquarters Italian Engineering coordinates all activities.
Functionality of ITR Tension Wheels
The function of the tension wheel is to properly tension and guide the track chain, ensuring its proper winding. The tension wheel and adjuster work together to maintain a specified degree of track tension. Efficient chain tension is a key factor affecting the durability of the undercarriage. The optimal sag for conventional tracks is about 50mm (+-5mm). For example, a track on an 80-horsepower machine with a sag of 12mm will have a tension of 2540 kg at the time of measurement in the track adjuster. Meanwhile, the same machine, with the suggested sag of 50 mm, will have a tension of 362 kg. An overly tight track increases pressure, leading to greater wear on the track bushing and sprocket teeth, as well as contact of the chain with the tension wheel and rollers. The appropriate tread hardness, equal to or greater than that of the chain links and running and support rollers, ensures impact resistance and balanced durability. Material: SCMn3A, hardening 50-55 HRC. Constant lubrication minimizes maintenance throughout the life of the product.
