How to choose rubber track pads?
2020-04-18
Common questions that excavator customers should be aware of when purchasing excavator rubber track pads:
1. Overall dimensions of the excavator track assembly and the length of the excavator drive chain.
2. Do rubber track pads have screw holes? What are the specifications for the spacing of these screw holes? Are all assembled rubber track segments or semi-assembled rubber track blocks available?
3. When selecting rubber track pads, whether to use a snap-fit or screw-in type should be determined based on the excavator’s on-site application conditions and operating frequency.
Installation method:
There are two methods for installing excavator rubber track pads: snap-fit assembly (hook-and-loop type) and screw-type assembly.
The raw materials for excavator rubber tracks are currently divided into four types:
1. The material refers to polycarbonate (PC) made by liquid casting processed within a mold.
2. Injection-molded materials refer to recycled plastics that are melted and poured into molds, then cooled and shaped. A key characteristic of these materials is that they lack elasticity.
3. Rubber refers to raw rubber, which has better smoothness and a milder taste.
4. Raw rubber, also known as recycled rubber, has low strength, is very prone to cracking and drying out, and has a strong odor. Its defining characteristic is its low price.

Rubber tracks are lightweight and do not damage road surfaces. However, rubber tracks are easily damaged when used in harsh environments.
The rubber track is made of a looped rubber belt composed of three commonly used materials: neoprene, fiberglass cords, and polyester elastic fabric. It employs a synchronous belt gear transmission system, offering advantages such as low ground pressure, high driving force, minimal vibration when climbing stairs, low noise levels, excellent stability on wet farmland, resistance to surface damage, and fast travel speed! Rubber tracks are widely used in various intelligent tracked robots—including industrial manipulators, specialized operation robots, smart robots, and micro-robots—for locomotion, walking mechanisms, and stair-climbing operations!
