Apollo Track Roller 2053169 Thrust Wheel Cold Planner Support Wheels for Milling Machine W2200
Product Description
Apollo W2200 Track Roller 2053169 Thrust Wheel
Heavy-duty support wheels designed for road milling machines and cold planners, providing critical undercarriage support and stability.
Product Overview
The Apollo W2200 Track Roller (Part #2053169), also known as a Thrust Wheel or Support Wheel, is a critical heavy-duty undercarriage component engineered specifically for the demanding environment of road milling machines (cold planners).
This component plays a vital role in the machine's mobility, stability, and milling precision by supporting the weight of the machine's chassis and guiding the track chain smoothly along its path.
Core Function & Application
This part is an integral component of the crawler track system on road milling machines like the Wirtgen W 2200 and similar large-scale cold planners. It serves as a support roller that:
Distributes Massive Load: Bears a significant portion of the machine's operational weight, transferring it to the track chain and ultimately to the ground.
Maintains Track Alignment: Serves as a guide and thrust wheel, ensuring the track chain runs true and remains properly aligned on the sprockets and idlers, preventing derailment.
Ensures Ground Contact & Stability: Contributes to even track tension and consistent ground contact, which is essential for machine stability during the high-vibration milling process.
Key Features & Design Advantages
Extreme Durability: Built to withstand immense static and dynamic loads, abrasive asphalt/concrete dust, and continuous impact inherent in milling operations.
Optimized Bearing & Seal System: Features a heavy-duty, high-capacity bearing cartridge and advanced multi-labyrinth seals that retain grease effectively and exclude millings, water, and contaminants.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to OEM-equivalent or superior specifications to ensure perfect fit, smooth rotation, and seamless integration.
Enhanced Service Life: Robust construction and superior sealing reduce wear rates, lower operating temperatures, and extend service intervals.
Reliability in Harsh Conditions: Proven performance in challenging milling environments, providing dependable support for critical projects.
