What Is an Excavator Track Chain and Track Link Assembly?
An excavator track chain, or track link assembly, consists of interlinked steel plates connected by pins and bushings, forming the chain that drives track shoes for mobility. AFT Parts offers OEM-spec assemblies compatible with CAT, Komatsu, Kubota, and Bobcat, plus repair link kits like CR5350 for CAT 320, ensuring precise fitment across Canadian provinces.
How Do Sealed and Greased Track Chains Protect Pins and Bushings?
Sealed and greased track chains use factory lubrication in pins and bushings with seals to retain grease, cutting friction and boosting life in dusty Alberta sites or BC forestry. AFT Parts' OEM-spec options, backed by 12-month warranty, deliver durability for repair shops handling Komatsu PC400 or Kubota KX161 undercarriages.
What Are the Key Specs for Track Link Height and Durability?
Key specs include link height tailored to models like CAT D6R or Komatsu PC400, with robust pins and bushings for heavy loads in Ontario mining. AFT Parts ensures compatibility; measure your machine for exact fit to prevent mismatch in Quebec quarries or Saskatchewan operations.
| Brand/Model | Link Height (inches) | Pin Diameter (inches) | Bushing ID (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAT D6R | 12 | 2.5 | 2.0 |
| Komatsu PC400 | 10 | 2.2 | 1.8 |
| Kubota KX161 | 8 | 1.8 | 1.5 |
| Bobcat 325 | 9 | 1.9 | 1.6 |
| Hitachi ZX50U | 8.5 | 1.7 | 1.4 |
| John Deere 50D | 9 | 1.9 | 1.6 |
Which Track Chain Is Best—Salt vs. Non-Salt for Canada?
Salt chains with epoxy-coated links resist corrosion in Nova Scotia coasts or Alberta prairies, lasting 5+ years; non-salt carbon steel suits dry BC interiors or Quebec rock, costing 20-30% less at CAD $300-500 per side. Choose based on site—coastal salty vs. inland abrasive for mining fleets.
| Feature | Salt Chains | Non-Salt Chains |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | High corrosion resist | Abrasion-focused |
| Cost CAD | $500-700 | $300-500 |
| Best Provinces | Prairies/Coastal (AB, NS) | Interior (BC, QC) |
