An updated iteration of KSS Ultimate is in development. Coming Soon.
Track Link Assemblies
Precision-forged track link assemblies featuring SALT — Sealed And Lubricated Track. Engineered for demanding mining cycles on Komatsu and Caterpillar equipment.
Core Technology
SALT — Sealed And Lubricated Track
SALT is KSS's sealed and lubricated track system. Three engineering elements work together to retain lubrication inside the pin-bushing interface for the full service life of the assembly.
Precision-fit seals at each pin and bushing pair prevent ground contamination from entering the lubrication chamber. The internal cavity is pre-charged with high-viscosity lubricant at the factory — eliminating field re-greasing and ensuring consistent lubrication volume regardless of maintenance schedules.
The base material is boron-alloyed steel, carburized and heat-treated to achieve a hard exterior surface over a tough, impact-resistant core. This dual-property profile resists both surface abrasion and shock loading — the primary failure modes in coal and mineral mining operations.
Engineering Details
Material
Boron steel forging — selected for superior hardenability and toughness under impact loading.
Heat Treatment
Induction hardening to precise case depth specifications. Core toughness maintained to absorb shock loads.
Dimensional Tolerancing
Precision-controlled pitch, height, and bore geometry for accurate interface with sprocket and roller systems.
Pin & Bushing
Friction-welded pin and carburized bushing system. Bushing hardness and lubrication geometry optimized for low-wear rotation.
