VÖGELE rubber track pads

In terms of tensile strength, abrasion resistance, elongation at break and tear resistance, genuine VÖGELE track pads achieve significantly higher performance ratings than their third party counterparts.

Above all, VÖGELE track pads are distinguished by the following characteristics:

  • The bevelled design of the track pads ensures excellent rolling characteristics and high tensile strength.
  • A specially formulated rubber compound guarantees optimal grip and maximum traction.
  • The flat forged plate ensures considerably better grip of the rubber pad.
  • The rubber pads are firmly fixed to the steel plate by an industrial grade adhesive with the highest possible adhesive strength.
  • Special heavy-duty nuts and bolts guarantee a permanent connection.

Wear on undercarriage parts

Track pads

Rubber track pads must be replaced when the wear limit of the coating is reached. Replacement should take place before the bars of the steel base plate become visible. The coefficients of friction (the traction) of steel on asphalt are significantly worse than those of polyurethane or rubber. This has a direct influence on the possible feed speed and, consequently, on the machine productivity. At the same time these coatings minimise damage to the ground and prevent possible payment of damages to the customer by service providers or owners of the construction machines. After all, roads or ground that were in good condition but were damaged due to worn track pads must, in general, be repaired or remade.

As with all other nut and bolt connections, the track pad bolts must also be tightened with sufficiently high torque. The following table provides the correct tightening torque values for various VÖGELE machines.
