Camso Track Terminology Track Identification (Edge of Track)


Camso tracks are constructed using a combination of
natural and synthetic rubber in combination with steel
reinforcing plies and continuous wound main cables.
The main cables give the track tension strength. The bias
and reinforcement plies protect the main cables, provide
internal track alignment, and further increase lateral
stiffness to better distribute loads across the track width.
The tread bars are designed with specific shapes, with
each shape giving a distinct performance advantage in
specific applications.

1.73 in (44 mm) reason for this is that in hard soil
conditions, the tread bar may not
achieve much penetration into the
surface. The drawbar load is then
transferred to the ground through the
tip of the tread bar. This may cause
the tread bar to fatigue over time
and reduce the life of the track. The
design of the tread bars reduce the
loads on the base of the tread bar,
resulting in both improved tread life
and smoother ride when operating in
scraper applications.
