Solid Bonded Films or Monolithic Ceramics in Tracked Chains of Construction Equipments for Wear Management

Abstract

Unlubricated tracked chains were realized using soft solid bonded films for the inner wear of the tribosystem of bushing/pin and monolithic ceramic bushings for the outer wear of the tribosystem bushing/sprocket. Both novel approaches were tested on D6 22-to. dozers. Selected solid bonded films and specific monolithic ceramics, offer a potential for simplifying the design, reducing weight and designing a dry-running longlife chain. These results can be further transferred to high-speed running gears or belt drives.
