Track Tensioners
PIT Track Tensioners come with integrated grease chamber for adjusting the slack of the chain. This feature guarantees the smallest installation size. Where a flat spring characteristic is needed, PIT Track Tensioners are equipped with a friction control. This means smoother recoil action, and so less wear on all track components.
PIT Track Tensioners are implemented in crawler tracks of numerous international manufacturers of construction machinery equipment.We manufacture Track Tensioners for all preloads. With our product you can standardize another component of your crawler track system.
PIT Track Tensioners offer the following distinct advantages as oposed to conventional steel spring recoil devices:
- distinct cost advantage with tensioners as of a preload of 20,000 kg
- longer life of your track components due to smoothe, damped recoil action
- small installation size (only 2/3 of conventional tensioners)
- absolutely maintenance free
- integrated grease chamber for slack compensation of worn chains
- simple installation on site
- interchangeable to already existing tensioners
- can be fully regenerated in a short time. Finally a tensioner that can be repaired like other undercarriagecomponents. A broken steel recoil spring cannot be repaired.
PIT Track Tensioners are safe to use. The rapid and dramatic expansion which often causes severe accidents when handling worn steel springs or nitrogen tensioners does not occur with P.I.T. tensioners owing to the special physical properties of the siliconoil. A very important consideration with regard to product liability!
PIT Track Tensioners do not require any separate caution while handling or during transport. The enclosed siliconoil is chemically neutral and presents no hazard to the environment. It is not flamable and free of fossile oil. On request the DIN safety regulations form can be presented.
