Rubber compounds

Higher performance guarantee requires the usage of some unique rubber compounds in the production process.

No-Wave Cable

Designed and manufactured exclusively for Bridgestone rubber tracks, this cable has these characteristics:

High firmness and maximum endurance.
High flexibility for energy savings.
Pressure and stretching resistance.
Corrosion risk reducing case.

Special abrasion, cut and pulling out resistant rubber
Patented profile resistant against the sharp edge cutting (US patent no. 6106083).

Spiral technology

Spiral placing of previously introduced cables is a way, how to provide:

High speed and performance while using.
Perfect thrust distribution while tightening.
Zero pitch alteration.
Precise circumference length.
Perfectly even traction transfer.

Interlocking Embeds

Provide better side strenght
Prevent track slide even in case of the loosened tension

Recommendations for rubber tracks maximum service life:

Bridgestone has great experience in rubber tracks development and testing. For best track using, you should follow certain operational rules. Most important are:

Right track stretch if of great importance during all operations. Follow the manual or get more information from rubber track supplier.
Periodically inspect other undercarriage parts (gears, rollers, driving wheels). Wear and malfunctions can dramatically reduce tracks’ performance and service life.
Avoid using machine with rubber tracks on surface with sharp stones or metal edges.
Minimize quick rapid turning maneuvers or turning on the edge.
Keep other materials out of undercarriage parts.
Do not drive with edge of track against walls, curbs or rocks.
If the oil or other lubricant gets spilled on surface of the rubber track, clean it carefully. It can significantly reduce rubber quality.
If the machine is stored for longer time, protect tracks from sun and rain.
