This will reduce friction and wear, and extend the life of the components.<\/li><li><strong>Periodic inspections:<\/strong> Regularly check the condition of pins, bushings and shims for signs of wear, corrosion or damage. Replace worn or damaged components immediately.<\/li><li><strong>Preventive replacement:<\/strong> Schedule preventive replacement of pins, bushings and shims according to operating hours or manufacturer's instructions. This can help prevent unexpected failures and maintain optimal machine performance.<\/li><li><strong>Cleaning:<\/strong> Keep pins, bushings and shims clean and avoid accumulations of dirt, lubricant residues or other deposits that may prevent the components from working properly.<\/li><li><strong>Check the tolerances:<\/strong> Ensure that the tolerances between pins and bushings are in accordance with the requirements. Components that are out of tolerance can lead to premature wear and damage.<\/li><\/ul><p>By following these recommendations and carrying out routine preventive maintenance, you can extend the service life of pins, bushings and shims on earthmoving and construction machinery, keep repair costs down and ensure reliable operation over time.<\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><strong>Bolts, Bushings, Shims and washers of brand ITR <\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><p>Every year, USCO ITR delivers more than 100,000 bushings, 120,000 bolts, 180,000 pins and 100,000 shims.<\/p><p>USCO ITR offers perfectly interchangeable pins, bolts, bushings and washers to fit the original parts of excavators and mini-excavators from major brands such as Caterpillar\u00ae, Komatsu\u00ae, Volvo\u00ae, etc.<\/p><p>Contact us at Entrack AS for more information about the individual products.<strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrack.no\/en\/repair-parts-itr\/\">See what kind of parts we supply here<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N\u00e5r man snakker om masseforflytningsmaskiner som gravemaskiner og bulldosere, trekkes ofte motorer og belter frem.
