What is the pitch of a snowmobile track?

What is the pitch of a snowmobile track?

Historically, tracks have been made in 2.00″, 2.52″, and 3.29″ pitch. (Pitch is defined as distance from the center of one lug to the center of the next lug going around the track.) Most track engineers will agree that when all other factors are constant, the shorter the pitch, the faster the track will run.

Does track pitch matter?

Yes track pitch matters!! X2, 2.86 pitch single ply tracks didn’t come out in 06. If you are talking about the 96 Formula that you have a 2.52 pitch type 121 track is what you need.

What pitch is a Polaris track?

Well-known member. yes it’s a 2.86 pitch, exact same track as 09-10 polaris sleds. so if you want to run a 3.0 track you’ll have to change drivers.

What pitch is a 141 track?

Track 15″ X 141″ X 1.50″ – Cobra (3.0 Pitch)

What pitch is my track?

Pitch: With a section of track on a flat surface, measure the center to center distance between a set of drive lugs. See the photos which shows a bit over 2.75″ but not 3″. This would be a 2.86″ pitch track. Length: To find the length we count the number of bars or lugs and then multiply this number by the pitch.

What is the best snowmobile track length?

A longer track length is usually at least 136 inches (3.45 meters) long. They have deeper lugs for better traction and cover a larger footprint on the snow. They can navigate efficiently off-trail and in deep snow. They are usually reserved for snowmobiles with more powerful motors.

What does the pitch mean on a track?

The distance between recording channels (tracks) on a magnetic or optical surface, as measured from the center of one track to the center of the other. The track pitch determines the “track density,” which is the number of tracks per inch (see tpi).

How is drive pitch measured?

How snowmobile tracks are measured?

To measure your snowmobile track, you need to know the drive pitch and number of lugs. You then multiply these two numbers together to get the length. The quick formula is Pitch x Number of Lugs = Length.

How do you measure a snowmobile skid?

How To Determine The Length Of A Snowmobile Track

1. Count the number of crossbars on the track.
2. Then multiply the number of crossbars times the pitch.
3. Example: 54 pitches x 2.86” = 154.44” (this track is called 155 by one OEM and 154 by another OEM.

Is a 144 track too long for trail riding?

The 144″ track will be fine on the trails. As mentioned, they might take a bit more effort to turn in the tight twisties, but it’s not bad.
