The Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) system is a highly durable undercarriage component used for track-type equipment, such as bulldozers, excavators, and loaders. This track system incorporates seals to keep lubrication confined within the pin and bushing area while preventing contaminants like dirt, debris, and water from entering. The result is reduced internal wear, extended component life, and minimized maintenance. The SALT design balances heavy-duty performance, longevity, and reliability, even in challenging environments like construction, mining, and forestry.
Attributes:
• Facilitates smooth and efficient movement of heavy equipment over various terrains.
• Reduces wear and tear on track pins and bushings through proper lubrication.
• Protects track components from external contaminants to enhance durability.
• Lowers operating costs by extending service intervals and minimizing downtime.
• Provided with positive pin retention and extended life.
Applications:
The Sealed and Lubricated Track is located in the undercarriage of track-type equipment. It forms the primary mechanism for movement, installed along the track frame and connected to the drive sprockets, idlers, and rollers. It bears the machine's weight and transfers power to the ground for propulsion and maneuvering.
