ROTATING BUSHING TRACK (RBT) UNDERCARRIAGE CANCELLATION

 

This IRM announces the cancellation of the Rotating Bushing Track (RBT) Undercarriage.  Due to low sales volumes of RBT undercarriage, AVSpare has decided to streamline current undercarriage offerings. RBT will have replacement piece parts available (links, bushings, pins, and seals) until inventories are depleted. RBT will be cancelled replaced by Heavy Duty undercarriage and customers will have the option of retrofitting machines to SystemOne undercarriage.

Features and Benefits

 

Heavy Duty Undercarriage utilizes links, pins, and fixed bushings that significantly offset the effects of high impact loads and stresses. Combined structural and wear life enhancements result in lower owning and operating costs through:

? Enhanced track joint retention and sealability.

? Stronger components that resist cracking and breakage.

? Extended system wear life.

 

SystemOne undercarriage utilizes straight links, rotating bushing, a superior sealing system and Center Tread Idlers that offers reduced maintenance and increased life. SystemOne reduces maintenance setbacks ? eliminating bushing turns, idlers that outlast two tracks and a new, innovative factory sealed cartridge design. Unique rotating bushing allows center tread idlers and sprocket segments to be used over the life of two undercarriage systems. SystemOne?s center tread idlers eliminate costly link rail scalloping and provide the link assembly with more guiding, resulting in significantly less vibration. SystemOne outperforms Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) and Heavy Duty Track in nearly all applications and underfoot conditions available, making it the optimal choice.

Conversion Process

Heavy Duty link assemblies can directly replace RBT link assemblies. The only difference is the bushings rotate with RBT; the bushings are fixed with Heavy Duty. Therefore, all Heavy Duty U/C components are directly inter-changeable with RBT U/C components. This includes shoes, mounting hardware, rollers, sprocket segments, conventional idlers, carrier rollers, track guides, and wear strips. Center tread idlers can not be used with Heavy Duty U/C.

 

SystemOne undercarriage is more complex to convert, as it requires; new link assemblies, shoes, mounting hardware, rollers, and guiding/guarding components. SystemOne Undercarriage can be retrofitted with the current RBT and heavy duty conventional idlers.  However, when using conventional idlers, customers will not see the total SystemOne benefits of increased wear life, improved track guiding with SystemOne Center Tread Idlers.  The use of Conventional idlers may lead to ?scalloping? on links.

 Dealers should not order the RBT part numbers if they intend to replace undercarriage with SystemOne.

 Refer to the machine models listed below for more information.
