LIS® Tension Units / Track Adjusters (Undercarriage)

Hydraulic tension units (track adjusters) for construction machinery undercarriages.
Central undercarriage components for track tensioning and shock absorption in combination with the idler.

➡️ Use the LIS undercarriage filter to quickly find the correct tension unit for your machine with just a few inputs.

Search for machines (e.g. Komatsu PC200 LC-7)

Position within the undercarriage

Tension units are an integral part of the undercarriage of tracked machines. They are located in the front section of the track frame and act directly between the frame and the idler

➡️ An overview of all relevant components can be found in the main category Undercarriage.

Function of the tension unit

The tension unit (also known as track adjuster, internationally recoil spring assembly) performs two essential functions:

  • Track tensioning

  • Shock absorption

A correctly matched tension unit significantly contributes to the service life of the entire undercarriage.

Selection by machine and undercarriage data

In professional spare parts applications, the selection of a tension unit is not based on individual dimensions, but on:

  • Machine manufacturer and model

  • Undercarriage configuration

  • Idler specification

The LIS undercarriage filter helps you identify the correct tension unit quickly and reliably.
