Kam - Model D11 -Dozer Track Adjuster Cannon
With ever-growing pressures on mining operations, companies are reliant on the life span of their equipment and mining fleet. Dozer equipment is often on the front-line of such operations. Dozer operators should always check the dozer track’s tension is just right, to get the most out of their equipment. If a track is too tight, or too loose, its components will wear faster.
On most dozers, a coil spring compresses or extends to take up small changes in track tension during operation. When the tension of a track needs to be adjusted, a short stroke hydraulic cylinder filled with grease is typically used. The grease extends the coil spring which in turn drives the idler wheel to the desired position and holds it there under retained grease pressure. If a track is too tight, or too loose, its components will wear faster. On most dozers, a coil spring compresses or extends to take up small changes in track tension during operation.

These track adjuster cannons were introduced five decades ago. This is the first time that interchangeable aftermarket parts have been made for them. And we have manufactured them right here in Queensland, Australia. People ask me again and again, “Why did you make a new track adjuster? What’s wrong with the original one?” I say, “We always need a backup plan. Why don’t we have just one brand of car? One brand of mobile phone? One brand of shoes? Each brand does something well that the others do not. We need alternatives. We can’t rely on just one brand.” And I can tell you this: I have come up with an alternative to the original track adjusters, in case something happens to your OEM parts.
