Type: Structural steel fixture with positioning groove and bolt holes, compatible with track chains / cylinder bases / valve group brackets

Material: Q345 low-alloy high-strength steel, stamped, galvanized/powder-coated for corrosion protection, resistant to deformation and impact, suitable for medium and heavy-duty working conditions

Key Dimensions: Length approx. 280mm, width approx. 150mm, thickness approx. 10mm, bolt hole diameter approx. 16mm, positioning groove width approx. 25mm, single weight approx. 8kg

Compatible Models: CAT 320, 323, 326 excavators, 950, 962 wheel loader chassis and hydraulic systems

Matching Relationship: Matches with high-strength bolts, nuts, and flat washers; typically 1-2 pieces per component. This device is used to secure track chains, hydraulic cylinder bases, valve assembly brackets, etc.

Compatibility and Applications
Compatible Parts: Track chain connection ends, hydraulic cylinder bases, valve assembly mounting brackets, etc. It positions and secures components, distributes loads, prevents loosening and displacement, and ensures installation accuracy and operational stability.

Application Scenarios: Medium to heavy-duty work conditions such as urban construction, road construction, and earthmoving operations. It is compatible with the chassis and hydraulic systems of small and medium-sized excavators and wheel loaders, improving component installation stability and operational accuracy.

Core Functions: Positions and secures track chains, hydraulic cylinder bases, and other components, distributes loads, prevents loosening and displacement, ensures stable operation of the chassis and hydraulic system, and extends component lifespan.

Installation and Maintenance Points
Installation: Clean the mounting surface and the surface of the fixing device. Check that the positioning groove and bolt holes match. Tighten high-strength bolts to the specified torque (approximately 240-280 N·m), ensuring a tight fit without gaps. After installation, check that the components are not loose or displaced.

Maintenance: Check the bolt tightness and the condition of the fasteners for deformation/cracks every 250 hours. Tighten any loose bolts immediately, and replace any deformed or cracked parts immediately to prevent component detachment or malfunction.

Replacement: Use genuine parts first. When replacing parts, verify the model and dimensions. After installation, test the relevant systems to ensure they operate normally, without abnormal noise or leakage, and guarantee stable equipment operation.
