Track Chain Assembly for Hitachi EX1900-6 Excavator | 4334483
Product Overview
The track chain assembly (also known as track link assembly) is a critical undercarriage component of your Hitachi EX1900-6 mining excavator. This precision-engineered assembly consists of interconnected track links, bushings, and pins that form the continuous loop around the undercarriage. The track chain engages with the drive sprocket, travels around the idler and rollers, and supports the 191-ton machine while providing traction in demanding mining environments .
The Hitachi EX1900-6 is a 191–192 metric ton class mining excavator powered by a Cummins QSKTA38-CE engine producing 810 kW (1,102 PS). The backhoe configuration has an operating weight of 192,000 kg, while the loading shovel configuration weighs 191,000 kg. This genuine Hitachi track chain assembly (Part No. 4334483) is engineered to exacting OEM specifications for perfect fit, reliable performance, and maximum service life in demanding mining environments .
This is a genuine Hitachi original equipment part.

Track Chain Components
The track chain assembly (4334483) integrates several critical components:
Component
Description
Track Links
Forged and heat-treated alloy steel links connected by pins and bushings. Each link features precision-machined mating surfaces and rail surfaces for roller contact
Track Bushings
Induction-hardened inner and outer surfaces. The outer surface engages with the drive sprocket; the inner surface articulates around the pin
Track Pins
High-strength steel, precision-ground, press-fitted into links. Pins allow articulation between links as the track wraps around sprocket and idler
Master Link
Removable link for track assembly/disassembly. Typically an offset or bolt-on design for easier field service
Seals
Duo-Cone floating seal system prevents contamination ingress and retains lubrication between pins and bushings
Track Shoes
Individual pads bolted to each link for ground contact. Available with double or single grouser configurations (order separately)
Function & Operation
Function
Description
Weight Distribution
Transfers machine weight to track shoes and ground via rollers
Propulsion
Pin and bushing engagement with drive sprocket transfers torque from travel motor to ground
Articulation
Links pivot at pin and bushing joints, allowing the track to wrap around sprocket and idler
Shock Absorption
Absorbs impact loads during travel over obstacles
Operating Principle
- Drive sprocket engages track bushings
- Sprocket rotation pulls track chain around undercarriage
- Track links articulate at pin and bushing joints
- Track chain transfers motion to track shoes
- Shoes contact ground, propelling the 191-ton machine
- Idler and adjuster maintain proper track tension
Wear Mechanism
As the track chain operates, the following progressive wear occurs :
- Pin and bushing outer surfaces wear from sprocket engagement
- Pin and bushing internal surfaces wear from articulation
- Track chain "stretches" as pin/bushing clearances increase
- Seal failure leads to contamination ingress, accelerating wear
- Proper lubrication and tension management extend service life

Installation Guidelines
Critical Requirements
- Verify part number matches your machine's requirements
- Prepare adequate heavy lifting equipment - Track chain is extremely heavy
- Support machine securely with proper blocking
- Relieve track tension before removal using track adjuster grease valve
- Use proper track tools for master link and chain handling
- Reference EX1900-6 Workshop Manual for complete procedures
Installation Steps
- Position machine on level ground, block securely
- Relieve track tension using track adjuster grease valve
- Remove track shoes from old chain (if reusing shoes)
- Remove master link bolts and separate master link
- Remove old track chain assembly
- Clean sprocket, rollers, and idler surfaces thoroughly
- Inspect undercarriage components for wear
- Position new track chain assembly (4334483) around undercarriage
- Align master link and install connecting pins
- Install master link bolts and torque to Hitachi specifications
- Install track shoes with new bolts (if not pre-assembled)
- Apply track tension to specification using track adjuster
- Test track operation in forward and reverse at low speed
- Re-torque master link bolts after initial operation
- Re-check and adjust track tension after test operation
Post-Installation
- Verify smooth track operation in both directions
- Check for proper sprocket engagement with bushings
- Inspect for unusual noise during travel
- Monitor track tension during initial operation
- Re-tension after break-in period (typically 50 hours)
Replacement Strategy
Due to the interdependent nature of undercarriage components, it is standard and highly recommended practice to replace the track chain together with the drive sprocket as a matched set . Worn sprockets will rapidly accelerate wear on a new track chain, and vice versa.
IMPORTANT:Installation must only be performed by qualified mining equipment technicians following procedures in the EX1900-6 Workshop Manual, specifically SECTION 3 UNDERCARRIAGE - Group 8: Track.
Maintenance Recommendations
Interval
Maintenance Task
Daily
Visual inspection for damage, check track tension, listen for unusual noise
Weekly
Check for loose track shoe bolts, inspect for seal leakage
Monthly
Measure track sag, adjust tension as needed
Every 500 hours
Measure pin and bushing wear
Every 1000 hours
Perform detailed undercarriage inspection
Every 2000 hours
Complete track chain wear measurement, sprocket inspection
As Needed
Replace when wear limits are reached
Track Tension Management
Maintaining proper track tension is critical for pin, bushing, and sprocket life :
- Over tightening increases rolling resistance and load on pins/bushings
- Under tightening causes track whipping and uneven wear
- Refer to EX1900-6 Operator's Manual for specific track sag specifications
Critical Notes
- Always use genuine Hitachi replacement parts
- Undercarriage wear is a major maintenance cost on 191-ton excavators
- Regular pin and bushing measurement extends track life
- Worn tracks accelerate sprocket, roller, and idler wear significantly
- Replace undercarriage components in sets for even wear distribution
- Seal integrity directly dictates the service life of the track chain
