Excavators are indispensable in the construction industry and their performance depends crucially on the functionality of various components, including the drive wheel, also called Turas. The component is of central importance for the mobility of the excavator and problems with it can lead to significant restrictions in work. In this blog article we will go into how you can see that it is time to exchange your excavator's drive wheel.
The drive wheel is the most important component in the chassis of your excavator. It transfers the power of the engine to the rubber or steel chain so that the machine moves. It is all the more important that everything works smoothly here. Even if it is not common for drive wheels to wear prematurely, it should still be checked regularly that they are still intact and do not leave any damage to the chain or other drive components.
Most often wear the teeth of the drive wheels that reach into the chain. If these are too worn out, they become a pointer and sharper and are no longer rounded as they should be. The drive wheel then resembles a circular sowing blade. This leaves damage to both rubber and steel chains, which must then be replaced as a sequence. Therefore, it always makes sense and cheaper to check the drive wheels regularly than to wait too long and to have to replace the complete chains.
We recommend checking the drive wheels every time you change the chains on your machine to avoid early wear and tear of the new chains. In order not to take any risk at all, you can also renew the drive wheels with every chain change. This saves both time and costs and extends the operating time of your machine.
