Overview:

Our AION™, midrollers, idlers & drive wheels undercarriage wheels are a cost-saving solution for extending rubber track life in Rubber Tracked Tractors. AION™ Midrollers hold up in the most extreme operating conditions and provide the longest work-life, significantly reducing downtime.

 

Worn, old, or failed midrollers, idlers, and drive wheels can be sent in for retreading with our high-performance polyurethane compound. It provides up to 4 times more wheel wear-life than most original equipment manufacturer replacements. New AION™  midrollers, idlers, and drive wheels are available for immediate shipment.

Friction Drive vs Positive Cog Drive:

Positive Cog Drive: creates stress points on only the engaging & disengaging track lugs - causing failure & 'bouncy' operation.

Friction Drive: allows track to dissipate stress to over 50% of the wheel surface area - also, with no drive bars, track lugs stay damage free; increasing track life.
