In the world of heavy machinery, undercarriage parts play a key role in performance and durability. Among these parts, track rollers and roller carrier are essential for excavators and diggers. Understanding their functions and differences helps you choose the right components for your machines.
What Are Track Rollers?
Track rollers, also known as bottom rollers, support the weight of the excavator or digger. They are mounted along the bottom of the undercarriage and roll on the track chain to move the machine forward or backward.
Track rollers:
- Carry the entire weight of the machine
- Maintain track tension and alignment
- Operate under heavy loads and harsh environments
- Must be strong, wear-resistant, and durable
At JULI, we manufacture high-quality track rollers using forging and casting technology. Our rollers are made from alloy steel, offering excellent strength and a 2-year warranty. We provide standard sizes and OEM options to fit various brands and models.
What Is the Difference Between a Track Roller and a Carrier Roller?
While both rollers are part of the undercarriage system, their functions and positions differ:
| Feature | Track Roller | Carrier Roller |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Bottom of the undercarriage | Top of the undercarriage |
| Function | Supports entire machine weight | Supports and guides the top of the track |
| Load Bearing | High load-bearing | Lower load-bearing |
| Wear Resistance | Extremely high due to ground contact | Lower as not in direct ground contact |
Carrier rollers, also known as top rollers or roller carriers, support the track chain from above. They help the track maintain shape and reduce sagging. Although they experience less wear, they are still critical for smooth operation and long-term performance.
At JULI, our carrier rollers are made from 50Mn carbon steel. They are designed for durability, with a normal life of 4,000 hours and a 1-year warranty. Just like our track rollers, they are available in standard sizes, various colors, and customer logos.
How to Choose the Right Rollers?
When selecting rollers, focus on the following key factors:
1. Material Quality
- Choose rollers made from high-grade alloy or carbon steel
- Ensure they use forging and casting technology for strength and durability
