CAT 095-3460 RETAINER

CAT 095-3460 (0953460) is a track retainer for Caterpillar 400GT tracked chassis. Its core function is to lock the track pads and track links in lateral position, preventing track pad misalignment/detachment. It is compatible with heavy-duty equipment such as 349/352/374 excavators and 982/988 loaders. Its positioning accuracy and fatigue resistance are superior to 095-3034/095-3416, making it a key fastener for the stable operation of the tracked walking system.

Item Details
Part Model CAT 095-3460 (0953460) Track Retainer

Type: Track lateral positioning fastener with positioning groove and bolt holes, used for lateral locking of track shoes and links to prevent track shoes from shifting/falling off

Material: 42CrMo alloy steel, integral forging + tempering heat treatment (hardness HRC36-38), surface anodized black / Caterpillar yellow primer, impact resistant, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant

Dimensions and Weight: Compatible with 400GT track shoes, width (approx. 400mm), length approx. 130-160mm, width approx. 85-105mm, thickness approx. 22-27mm; single weight approx. 4-6kg, bolt hole spacing/diameter matches track links and track shoe mounting holes

Compatible Models: 349, 352, 374 medium and large excavators, 982, 988 Heavy-duty loader; compatible with 400GT tracked chassis, matching 095-2943 track shoes, 095-2963 mounting plates, 095-2986/095-2994 spring bases and other chassis components.

Functional Positioning: Locks the track shoes and chain links in lateral position, preventing lateral displacement and detachment during travel/turning; transmits lateral loads to the tracks, protecting track links, track rollers, and guide rollers, ensuring stable operation of the track system.

Compatibility and Application:
Compatible Location: Side of track links, installed at the connection between the track shoes and chain links, secured with bolts to lock the lateral freedom of the track shoes, meeting the lateral positioning requirements of 400GT track shoes.

Application Scenarios: Suitable for heavy-duty working conditions such as mining and infrastructure construction, bearing lateral impact loads on the tracks (commonly 5-10 tons), ensuring the stability of the track system during high-speed travel, turning, and heavy-duty operations, and preventing track shoes from detaching and causing equipment failure and safety accidents. Core Functions: Locks the track shoes in lateral position to prevent lateral displacement/falling off; transmits lateral loads to the tracks, protecting track links, track rollers, and guide rollers, extending the service life of chassis components.

Installation and Maintenance Points:

Installation: Clean the connecting surfaces of the retainer, track shoes, and track links, ensuring they are free of oil and impurities; tighten bolts to the original torque (200-250 N·m, refer to the model manual); after installation, check the lateral clearance between the retainer and the track shoes to ensure there is no track shoe misalignment or jamming.

Maintenance Cycle: Check the retainer for deformation, cracks, and bolt torque every 250 hours; shorten this to 100 hours in harsh working conditions such as mining.

Replacement Standard: Replace the retainer if it shows cracks, deformation, worn/deformed bolt holes, or if wear on the positioning groove causes track shoe misalignment; prioritize original parts to avoid track shoe detachment, misalignment, and other malfunctions caused by dimensional deviations/insufficient material strength.
