Horstman Track Tension

Horstman Track Tension systems provide passive and adaptive solutions that maintain the demanded tension level of the track, while influencing the total suspension stiffness.

Horstman’s Track Tension solutions improve power efficiency, vehicle manoeuvrability, pressure distribution in chassis components, and track peel-off from the sprocket.

Rugged systems proven in service include AS90 and K9 Howitzer, the Terrier engineer vehicle, US Ground Combat Vehicle, Tulpar IFV and a range of confidential prototypes on agriculture and next-generation main battle tanks.

Passive Track Tension

  • Optimized performance to prevent track shedding.
  • Longer track and wheel life from reduced loading.
  • Optimum vehicle trafficability and reduced rolling resistance for fuel economy.
  • Under armour adjustment for specialist vehicle (assault bridge, combat engineering)

Adaptive Track Tension

  • Improves track retention in severe terrain or manoeuvres and reduces track wear.
  • Nominal tension required to maximize power efficiency with reduced friction losses (on-road)
  • Increased tension required to align with greater tractive forces between tracks, suspension and soil (cross-country)

Options

  • Manual track tensioning
  • Under armour track tensioning
  • Automated track tensioning system
  • Active track tension
