Track bolt for Caterpillar

The 216-4025 track bolt serves as a specialized fastener for the undercarriage systems of Caterpillar heavy machinery. Its primary function involves securing track chain links or sprocket segments to the frame, maintaining the structural integrity of the traction system during operation. The component is manufactured to precise dimensions, featuring a 22mm nominal diameter, a 1.5mm thread pitch, and a total length of 67mm.

This fastener is designed for use across various Caterpillar tracked equipment, including excavators, track-type tractors, and loaders. Proper installation of this hardware is necessary to maintain the tension and alignment of the track assembly. By ensuring that all links remain firmly connected, the bolt helps prevent chain detachment and supports the overall stability of the undercarriage.

Track bolts are used in heavy equipment to join metallic segments that encounter constant stress and movement. These fasteners must match the specific thread pitch and length requirements of the machine to ensure a secure fit within the undercarriage assembly. Regular inspection of these bolts is standard practice to confirm they remain tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings, which prevents movement between the connected track components.
