Seal assembly
11104391 · 2021-08-31 · ·

A seal assembly for sealing a lubricant space that is formed between a pin, a track shoe pressed-on onto one end of the pin, and a sleeve of a track. The sleeve is pushed onto the pin and is swivelable on the pin. The track further includes at least one second track shoe pressed onto one end of the sleeve. The seal assembly provides a first seal ring for sealing the lubricant space between the sleeve and the first track shoe, and an elastic ring for applying pressure to the first seal ring. The seal assembly further provides a second seal ring for sealing the lubricant space between sleeve and the first track shoe and/or the pin.

Grease injection nipple
10920930 · 2021-02-16 · ·

The present invention relates to a grease injection nipple coupled to a grease pipe such that the same can function as an opening/closing valve with regard to the corresponding grease pipe, the grease injection nipple being pushed against a nipple of a grease supply target and coupled thereto or separated therefrom. The grease injection nipple according to the present invention comprises a push body, a check valve, a nipple coupling portion, and a valve activation portion. The valve activation portion may operate such that, when the push body makes a primary movement in the forward direction, the check valve is opened and, when the push body makes a secondary movement in the forward direction after external force for the primary movement of the push body is released, the check valve is closed.

ROTATABLE ELEMENT IN MACHINE TRACK HAVING THRUST WASHER STACK FOR STEPPING DOWN RELATIVE SPEEDS

A sealed and lubricated rotatable track engaging element includes a roller and a roller shaft extending through the roller to support the roller for rotation about a major axis. A first thrust surface is fixed relative to the roller, and a second thrust surface is fixed relative to the roller shaft. A seal cavity extends between the roller and the roller shaft and is formed in part by each of the first thrust surface and the second thrust surface, and a thrust washer stack is within the seal cavity and trapped between the first thrust surface and the second thrust surface. The thrust washer stack includes an inner thrust washer contacting the roller to rotate at a first fractional speed of a speed of rotation of the roller, and an outer thrust washer contacting the inner thrust washer and the collar to rotate at a second fractional speed that is less than the first fractional speed.
