Core Parameters and Information

Item Details
Part Model: CAT 2L-8262 Track Adjusting Ring

Part Type: Steel ring for adjusting track tension in chassis running gear, used for adjusting track tension and cushioning track impact

Material: Medium carbon alloy steel (45# steel), integrally quenched and tempered (HB 220–260), surface galvanized and passivated for rust prevention

Key Dimensions: Outer diameter approx. 139.70 mm (5.500 in), inner diameter approx. 120.65 mm (4.750 in), thickness approx. 19.05 mm (0.750 in), ring width approx. 19.05 mm (0.750 in)

Structural Features Annular, uniform thickness structure, no notches, smooth surface, used for track tensioning cylinder stroke compensation and track frame gap filling.

Compatible Structure: Matches track tensioning cylinders, track frames, and guide wheels; installed in the buffer/adjustment chamber of the track tensioning mechanism.

Applicable Working Conditions: Suitable for dusty, muddy, and high-vibration outdoor working environments; used for track travel mechanism tension adjustment and buffering.

Compatible Models: CAT 311B/312B/315B Excavators (track tensioning part of chassis travel mechanism)
CAT 950G/966G Wheel Loaders (track tensioning mechanism adjustment part)
CAT 247B/257B Compact Track Loaders (track tensioning adjustment part of chassis)

Installation and Fitting Points: Installed between the front end of the track tensioning cylinder and the track frame; used to fill gaps, adjust track preload, and compensate for track elongation.

Before installation, clean the mounting surface to remove rust, oil, and impurities, ensuring a tight, even fit between the ring and the track frame.

Tighten the track tension cylinder bolts according to the torque requirements in the machine manual. After installation, check the track sag (standard sag 20–40 mm).

Use in conjunction with the track tension spring and guide wheel. Do not assemble with non-original track adjusting rings to avoid size mismatch leading to track derailment and abnormal wear.
