How to perform daily maintenance on excavator crawlers?

2022-05-18

1. When a roller that cannot run due to a fault is found, it should be repaired in time. If the excavator part of the carrier rollers or rollers cannot continue to run, continuing to use in such a state may cause the rollers to be misaligned, and may even lead to the wear of the rail links. Therefore, when encountering such a situation, please be sure to repair it immediately, so as to avoid other failures in time.

2. Avoid the excavator traveling on sloping ground or turning suddenly. The excavator repeatedly walks on the inclined ground for a long time and turns suddenly, which will cause the side of the rail link to contact the side of the driving wheel and the guide wheel, resulting in increased wear and tear. Therefore, during the operation of the excavator, straight travel and large turns should be selected as far as possible, which can effectively prevent excessive wear.

3. Regular inspection and reinforcement of bolts and nuts can effectively reduce track wear. After the excavator works for a long time, the rollers, track shoe bolts, driving wheel bolts, travel piping bolts and other components are easily loosened due to vibration. Continuing to operate the equipment with the track shoe bolts loose may create a gap between the bolts and the track shoe, which could lead to cracks in the track shoe. The generation of clearance may also enlarge the bolt holes between the track and the rail link, making it impossible to fasten it, resulting in the consequence that the track and the track link must be replaced.

Although most of the reasons for the wear of the excavator crawlers come from some small details, it is these small details that are easy to ignore, which are likely to lead to major failures and consequences. Therefore, in the future use, we should pay attention to these small details and the maintenance of the excavator crawler.
