Here Here you'll find lots of information as well as useful tips and tricks about rubber tracks. Enjoy browsing!

AVT stands for Anti-Vibration Track. The special diamond-shaped, continuous track roller guide reduces machine vibration by up to 75% compared to standard excavator tracks. Vibrations generated as the track roller moves over the track segments are minimized. AVT technology makes your machine run more smoothly and stably overall. This has several advantages: First, driving comfort for the operator is greatly increased. The strain on the driver is reduced, and noise pollution is significantly reduced. It also protects the machine itself. Fewer vibrations put less strain on the machine's undercarriage components. This results in lower maintenance costs and less downtime.

At baumashop24.com, you can choose whether you want to order most chain models with or without AVT guidance.

Basically, rubber tracks are made according to the scheme Width x length x pitch (number of chain links) e.g., 500x92x84. The width of the rubber chain is given in millimeters; you can easily measure this. The length is the distance between two chain links. You measure from the beginning of one chain link to the beginning of the next chain link, also in millimeters. The pitch refers to the number of chain links; simply count these once.

Some rubber tracks are also marked with a letter (B, K, N, T, W, or Y). It doesn't matter where the letter appears; for example, 500x92Kx84 and 500x92x84K are the same track.

The letters Y, T and B are used for models of the manufacturers Yanmar (Y), Takeuchi (T) and Bobcat (B).

K, N, and W refer to the chain's guide. If the rollers are externally guided, they are marked with a K. Internally guided chains are marked with the letters N and W. N is derived from the English "narrow" and stands for a narrow track (approx. 40 mm). W, on the other hand, stands for "wide," meaning a wide track (50 mm and above).

Long-pitch and short-pitch refer to the differences in the pitch of the rubber tracks. With short-pitch tracks, the individual track links are shorter than with long-pitch tracks, which results in better rolling behavior and smoother machine operation. If you are currently using a long-pitch track, you can usually convert it to a short-pitch rubber track. The only important thing is that the overall length of the track remains the same. So if you are currently using a track with the dimensions 230x96x33 (long-pitch), you can usually also order a track with the dimensions 230x96x66. The track links (33) on the short-pitch chain are only half as long, so there are twice as many of them (66), so the overall track length remains the same.
