Description
The Doosan DX60-7 Idler Assembly, part number 200102-00003A, also known as a tension idler or front idler, is a crucial wheel-shaped component of your mini excavator’s undercarriage system. Most commonly located at the front of the undercarriage, opposite the drive sprocket, its primary function is to guide the track chain smoothly around the undercarriage frame and, crucially, to work in conjunction with the track adjuster (tensioner) to maintain the correct tension of the track. This precise tension is vital to prevent the track from derailing, reduce premature wear on track links and other components, and absorb operational shock loads, thereby protecting the entire undercarriage. This idler assembly is explicitly compatible with Doosan DX60R and DX63-3 models, ensuring perfect fit and performance for your DX60-7 series machine.
Manufactured to stringent OEM specifications, this idler assembly is typically constructed from high-strength alloy steel through advanced forging or casting techniques. Its robust design is built to withstand the demanding conditions of excavation, supporting significant loads and guiding the track effectively. The idler’s running surface is precision-machined and often undergoes heat treatment to achieve optimal hardness (e.g., HRC52-58) and wear resistance, crucial for longevity when in constant contact with the track links. The assembly is typically sealed and lubricated for life, containing internal lubrication that prevents the ingress of harmful contaminants like dirt, sand, and moisture, ensuring smooth, low-friction rotation without requiring regular maintenance. This complete assembly, weighing approximately 97-98 lbs (around 44 kg), is ready for direct installation.
A worn or damaged idler can lead to a range of performance issues, including loose tracks, frequent de-tracking, increased noise and vibration during travel, and accelerated wear on sprockets and track links. These issues can compromise machine stability, reduce operational efficiency, and lead to significant repair costs. Replacing a faulty idler with a high-quality, OEM-standard part like the 200102-00003A is essential for restoring optimal machine mobility, ensuring track system integrity, protecting your valuable undercarriage investment, and minimizing costly unplanned downtime. This idler is an indispensable replacement for routine maintenance or when addressing issues related to track tension and guidance.
