Track Adjuster

A track adjuster is a mechanical component used in tracked vehicles, such as excavators and bulldozers, to maintain proper tension in the track system. It adjusts the length of the track by either tightening or loosening the track links, ensuring optimal contact between the track and the sprockets and rollers. This adjustment helps prevent excessive wear, slippage, or damage to the tracks. Track adjusters typically consist of a hydraulic or manual cylinder, along with a tensioning mechanism, and are essential for maintaining the vehicle's stability, traction, and overall performance, especially on rough or uneven terrain.
