Mechanism for detecting misalignment in a continuous belted machine
A track roller assembly for a work machine including a track roller frame with drive and idler wheels and an endless track disposed about the wheels, mid-rollers located between the drive and idler wheels, each mid-roller having a shaft mounted on a bogie frame and a pair of mid-roller hubs having roller wheels mounted on the shaft, one mid-roller hub and wheel on either side of the bogie frame, each mid-roller hub having a guide facing guide blocks, an alignment sensing mechanism to detect misalignment of the track, where the alignment sensing mechanism includes at least one sensor paddle mounted on the bogie frame such that a lobe of the sensor paddle resides adjacent the guide blocks such that sideways movement of the endless track belt causes the guide blocks to contact the sensor paddle before contacting the mid-rollers.
WORK VEHICLE COMPONENT
The present invention describes a work vehicle component comprising a cavity obtained in the component, having an extension axis and delimited by a side wall, an opening for the cavity, placed at an outer surface of the component, a wear sensor housed in the cavity and comprising a first axial end placed at the opening for the cavity, a support body inserted into the cavity with a first axial end aligned with the first axial end of the wear sensor. The support body is connected to the side wall of the cavity and constrained to the side wall of the cavity, and the wear sensor is physically connected to the support body and is constrained, at least in an axial direction, to the support body.

MONITORING SYSTEM FOR BELTED UNDERCARRIAGE
A monitoring system of at least one physical magnitude in at least one undercarriage component, the system includes at least one sensor device arranged in an undercarriage component, the sensor device configured to detect the temperature inside the undercarriage component and to generate wireless measurement signals that include temperature representative data; a gateway that includes a gateway wireless transceiver; a central processing unit operatively connected to the gateway wireless transceiver and configured to receive and store the wireless measurement signals, and a wireless access point operatively connected to the central processing unit and configured to receive said wireless measurement signals stored in the central processing unit and to generate corresponding wireless measurement signals, the wireless access point acting as an entry point for accessing the temperature representative data detected by the at least one sensor device.
Brake assembly for a tracked vehicle
A farm implement is provided having a frame and first and second track assemblies. The first track assembly has a first track frame, a first idler wheel, and a first brake assembly. The first idler wheel has an inboard side facing toward and an outboard side facing away from a center the first track frame. The first brake assembly has a first disc coupled to the first idler wheel on the outboard side of the first idler wheel, a first caliper couplable to first and second sides of the first disc, and a first torque arm coupled to the first track frame and a spindle of the first idler wheel. The first caliper is mounted on the first torque arm, and is configured to clamp down on the first and second sides of the first disc in order to slow and/or stop rotation of the first idler wheel.
