What is the difference between a track group and a track chain?

Expert_Answer

A track chain is the chain assembly that links the pins, bushings, and links together to form the moving foundation of the undercarriage. A track group is broader: it usually means the complete assembled track on one side of the machine, including the track chain plus the shoes and, in some cases, master pin or other fitted components depending on the supplier’s definition.

In simple terms, the track chain is one major part of the track group. If you’re replacing worn components, it’s important to confirm whether the seller is quoting the chain only or a full track group. VANROCK supplies both track chains and complete undercarriage parts for 54+ machinery brands, with quotes provided.
