1. PURPOSE

This specification define the assembly criteria and bolt torque to be applied on track shoe for clawer machine
applications.

2. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

It is very important to fit the pads correctly. Incorrect fitting can cause loosening or loss of torque in
screws. Use only new screws and nuts. Used screws, even though they appear in good condition, can
become plastically deformed and do not ensure correct tightening.
Remove any paint or oxidization from the pad fastening surface. Make sure there are no dents on the
area itself and eliminate these if there are.
Make sure the holes on the link are clean and that the screw can be freely fitted.
Remove any paint or oxidization on the link nut seat.

B.Procedure to tighten the bolts

The torques to be applied for each screw depend on the type of tightening selected:
 Final torque tightening
 Corner torque tightening
Corner torque tightening is used to eliminate the various friction coefficients between the parties.
For heavy-duty applications, the use of a corner torque is preferable.

 Final torque tightening procedure

Apply the tightening torque according to the diameter and the resistance class of the screw.
Initially tighten with a wrench and reach the final torque using a specific torque measuring device. Always keep
stringently to the figures shown on the following table.

 Corner Torque Tightening procedure

With this procedure, the screws must be tightened with a first pre-torque as shown on the following table,
always according to the diameter and screw class.
After this first pre-setting turn the screw by 120° (1/3 turn) using a specific corner measuring device.
With this procedure, a specific plastic deformation of the screw can be achieved which ensures the maximum
obtainable tightness.

 Re-Checking the torque

Torque must be checked again after the firt
50 hours of use.

In both tightening procedures, follow

the fitting sequence alongside.
