A vehicle (e.g., an agricultural vehicle or other off-road vehicle) comprising a track system can be monitored to obtain information regarding the vehicle, including information regarding the track system, such as one or more parameters (e.g., a temperature, a pressure, an acceleration, an identifier, etc.) of the track system and/or one or more characteristics of an environment of the track system (e.g., a compliance, a profile, a soil moisture level, etc. of the ground beneath the track system), which can be used for various purposes, such as, for example, to: convey the information to a user (e.g., an operator of the vehicle); control the vehicle (e.g., a speed of the vehicle, operation of a work implement, etc.); transmit the information to a remote party (e.g., a provider such as a manufacturer or distributor of the track system and/or of the vehicle; a supplier of a substance such as fertilizer used where the vehicle is located; etc.); control equipment (e.g., an irrigation system, a fertilizing system, etc.) external to the vehicle; etc.

The present invention discloses a high-load explosion-proof driving device, including a servo motor, a reduction box, and a power take-off assembly. The power take-off assembly includes a step sleeve, a coupling, a wheel support sleeve, and a driving wheel. The step sleeve is connected to a robot body, the coupling is disposed through the step sleeve, and a bearing structure and a sealing structure are provided between the coupling and the step sleeve. The coupling is provided with a driving wheel key and a driving wheel sleeve on the left, the driving wheel key is connected to the driving wheel sleeve, and the driving wheel sleeve is connected to the driving wheel. The present invention has the following advantages: the driving device has a high protection capability, and at the same time, power transmitted from the reduction box is distributed, thereby improving loading capability of a mobile chassis.

The hydraulic drive powered endless track drive motorcycle is a track cycle comprising a front track assembly, a rear track assembly, a power plant, and a frame. The front and rear track assemblies use an endless track circulating around a driven sprocket, bogie sprockets, and idlers to distribute the weight of the vehicle and provide greater traction than a tire would provide. The track assemblies are driven by hydraulic motors that receive pressurized hydraulic fluid from a power plant mounted to the frame. The power plant comprises an internal combustion engine driving a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic expansion tank. A seat is mounted to the top of the frame. The front track assembly is steerable using handlebars and a suspension system pivotably mounted to the front of the frame.

A drive assembly includes a housing, upper and lower shafts, a friction pack, and a pair of meshed gears. The housing defines a receptacle containing a volume of lubricating fluid, a brake chamber with a metering orifice in a lower portion of the brake chamber, and an exit port at an upper portion of the brake chamber. The upper and lower shafts are within the housing at different elevations and configured for rotation. The friction pack is within the brake chamber and driven to rotate by the upper shaft. The pair of meshed gears is driven to rotate by one or more of the upper and lower shafts, and the gears communicate lubricating fluid from the receptacle to the lower portion of the brake chamber through the metering orifice. Rotation of the friction pack pumps lubricating fluid to the exit port at the upper portion of the brake chamber.

Track systems for traction of a vehicle in which a spacing of laterally-adjacent ones of the track systems in a widthwise direction of the vehicle is adjustable. This may facilitate use of the vehicle in different conditions (e.g., in different field configurations, such as in different configurations of row crops, where the vehicle is an agricultural vehicle). For instance, the spacing of the laterally-adjacent ones of the track systems may be adjustable while the laterally-adjacent ones of the track systems are connected to a power train of the vehicle and/or without requiring use of additional parts (e.g. spacers).

A labyrinth (32) is provided in a gap (22) formed between a fixed-side end surface (13E) of a fixed-side housing and a rotation-side end surface (15C) of a rotation-side housing (15). The labyrinth (32) is constituted by a fixed-side recessed part (13F), a fixed-side fitting projecting part (13G), a rotation-side fitting projecting part (15D), and a rotation-side recessed part (15E). First and second fabric-like members (33), (34) formed annularly by a fabric-like material are provided in the fixed-side recessed part (13F) and the rotation-side recessed part (15E), respectively. A grease accommodating space (35) in which grease (G) is filled is provided between the first fabric-like member (33) and the second fabric-like member (34).

A track system for traction of a vehicle that is connectable to an axle of the vehicle and includes a track and a track-engaging assembly for driving and guiding the track around the track-engaging assembly. The track-engaging assembly includes a drive wheel for driving the track, idler wheels for contacting a bottom run of the track, and a bogie carrying the idler wheels. The track system includes a transmission for transmitting power from the axle of the vehicle to the drive wheel such that a rotational speed of the drive wheel is different from a rotational speed of the axle of the vehicle. The track system includes a connector disposed between the transmission and the bogie such that the bogie is movable (e.g., pivotable) relative to the transmission. The connector may be disposed below an output shaft of the transmission.
