Undercarriage Measurements
INTRODUCTION
Why do we measure UC wear?
By measuring each U/C component and recording the worn size,
you can determine how much use is left in the part.
Measuring gives information on how long the components can last
under the current operating conditions and how they should be
maintained in the future.

Undercarriage Measurements
MANUAL MEASUREMENT / MEASUREMENTS / LINK PITCH
PROCEDURE:
1. Measure Pitch Lenght of four links @
more than three links away from Master
Link / Master Pin.
2. The measurement should be made from
one side of a Pin to the same side of the
fifth Pin away (which includes four
Links).

HOT PIN CHECK for SALT (Before measuring Link Pitch Extention)
Check for oil leakage @ SALT Systems:
(use a thermometer or sipmly touch it)
1. Operate the machine at least for 30 minutes.
2. Check Pin temperature:
• HOT: Can’t be continuously touched (>50 °C)
• WARM: Like warm water (35 – 40 °C)
• COLD: Normal temerature (around 25 °C)
Hot temperatures indicate loss of lubrication oil.
If no hot pin, You can skip to measure link pitch
