Cat® Abrasion™: An Inside Job

Our engineers spent thousands of hours talking to undercarriage users and examining performance in high-abrasion, low-to-medium-impact applications. They saw firsthand where you’d gain the most from undercarriage improvements. The design innovations of Cat® Abrasion™ are derived from these real-world applications and deliver real results for your operation.

 

 

 

 

First-to-market cartridge innovations

We redesigned Cat Abrasion’s sealed, cartridge-style joints so they perform better and last longer than their predecessor, SystemOne™. The cartridge may look the same on the outside, but the coating and seals inside are different — and better — to extend life and lower your costs.

Resists chipping and cracking

­

 

Improves seal life in the harshest conditions

­

 

Reduces packing and oil loss in freeze/thaw conditions

­

 

Greatly reduces end grooving, corrosion and seal lip wear

Different by design

Critical updates in Cat Abrasion cartridge design improve sealability and deliver up to double the seal life compared to SystemOne. That's how it delivers the lowest-cost-per-hour solution.

Eliminates the need for bushing turns in abrasive applications

­

 

Better sealability means less maintenance and reduced costs over the lifecycle

­

 

Patented relieved tread idler design extends life up to 2x longer compared to traditional idlers

­

 

Eliminates contact between idlers and link rails providing a smoother ride for operators
