BV206 Track – Soucy Defense

To convert a BV206 from an external to internally driven track system requires a simple track and sprocket change. The conversion will not induce any detrimental effects on a vehicle performance but will enhance it in many areas such as durability of components, less noise and vibration and reduced maintenance. Migration to Soucy roadwheels can be conducted through running changes, as they are interchangeable with current aluminium wheels and have been validated for multi-version usage. Soucy can provide a Hydraulic tensioner which would replace the tensioning screw. This allows for easier track tension whilst saving time in track replacement.

Smooth Integration of Soucy Products

Durability
Average 6,000 km (3728 miles): Track Installation
Easier to install 50% time saved during track changes: Track Adjustment
Less frequent adjustments (stable adjustments): Track deterioration
Mostly cosmetic: Dust generation
Safety hazard
Track design reduces dust generation

Soucy’s internal drive features:

The guide and drive lugs are made with FULL RUBBER which produces no corrosive features

The track is designed with ARAMID cords which reduces elongation which promotes less track adjustment

The track is manufactured using COMPRESSION Moulding

External drive track features:

The stiffeners and guide horns are constructed of steel which over time cause corrosion

Track is designed with aramid FABRICS which have less strength, allowing the track to stretch and adding additional maintenance (track adjustment).

SPROCKETS

Soucy manufacture an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) sprocket. This very tough material has the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently on the market and is also highly resistant to abrasion.

Roadwheels

Soucy have a specially designed road wheel constructed of UHMW with built in aluminium hub. All roadwheels are pre machined with all hardware provided (Bearings).

Turnkey Solution

All parts are included in Soucy’s track kits. Customers have a choice of two different tensioning systems:

Manual Tensioner

The manual tensioner is fitted as standard to the BV206, Soucy have however made an increase in the length of the adjustment screw to aid operators in track adjustment.

Hydraulic Tensioner

The hydraulic tensioner can be fitted to replace the manual version, this allows for easier track tensioning whilst also saving time on track replacement. It’s a simple bolt on conversion and is operated by standard military grease. (MIL-G-10924E).

MAIN BENEFITS

Reduced Vibration – With no steel on steel contact in Soucy’s internally driven track and the replacement of the current aluminium roadwheels. With Soucy’s UHMW roadwheels, Noise and Vibration is reduced.
Lower Maintenance – Due to the introduction of the Aramid Cords, the need for track adjustment is decreased, also the time to change a track system decreases by 50%.
Reduced weight – Soucy’s internally driven track is reduced by approx. 100KG when compared to other externally driven tracks.
User Manual – Soucy can provide a comprehensive User Manual that gives all details required to fully install the track system.
