A straddle mount idler assembly for use with a crawler assembly of a crawler machine. The straddle mount idler assembly includes an idler wheel positioned between inboard and outboard arms of a crawler assembly, the idler wheel fixed both rotationally and axially to an idler shaft. The wheel and shaft are fixed rotationally via locking key and axially via segmented retaining plate and bolts. The axial coupling of the wheel and shaft allows for axial thrust to be controlled outboard the crawler frame for easier access and maintenance. A sealed thrust plate assembly with a dedicated lubrication port is mounted to each bearing block. A retainer nut threadably engages the idler shaft, allowing ready tightening of the retainer when the thrust plate experiences wear, and the retaining nut is fixed to the shaft via a locking bar. A set of integrated inspection ports enable inspection and measurement of the thrust plate without splitting crawler tracks.

A track roller assembly includes a wheel body, a bearing, a wheel axle, a cap element, a rotating oil seal, an end cover and an oil body. The wheel body has a thread. The bearing is disposed on the wheel body. The wheel axle is disposed through the bearing. The cap element has a screw corresponding to the thread. One side of the rotating oil seal is connected to the cap element, and another side of the rotating oil seal rotatably abuts the wheel axle. The end cover is connected to the wheel axle. The oil body is limited to an accommodating space formed by the wheel body, the wheel axle, the cap element and the rotating oil seal.

A track joint assembly includes a first track shoe and a second track shoe, and a cartridge pin coupling together the first track shoe and the second track shoe. A sealed and lubricated track joint is formed by pin lugs on the first and the second track shoes, a cartridge pin, a pin retainer, a pin bore extending through pin lugs of the coupled-together track shoes, and a pin stop located in one of the pin lugs to inhibit displacement of the cartridge pin.

A machine system includes a roller frame and a roller assembly mounted to the roller frame. The roller assembly includes first and second clamping collars positioned upon a roller shaft and each including a lower and an upper collar section. Fasteners clamp the lower and upper collar sections to the roller shaft to form static seals. The clamping collars may be formed with splitlines to enable the clamping collars to deform so as to simulate interference fits with the roller shaft.

A rubber track, in particular for a road paver or a feeder vehicle, comprising at least one drive wheel and at least one guide wheel, which are placed on a carrier together with wheels arranged in pairs and a rubber track, wherein the wheels have rims, and wherein on a circumferential surface of the rims of the wheels a rubber lining is attached, wherein a guide cam is provided on an inner side of the rubber track, which guide cam is configured to penetrate into an intermediate space between two wheels located next to each other, wherein a contact surface of the wheels facing the guide cam has an insert detachably attached to the rims.

A thrust ring comprises a body including a cylindrical outer surface, a cylindrical inner surface, defining a central axis, an axial direction, a circumferential direction, a first axial end, a second axial end, and at least one recess on the first axial end, and at least one protrusion extending from the cylindrical inner surface toward the central axis.
