ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRACTIVE ELEMENTS OF POWER MACHINES
20230124346 · 2023-04-20 ·

A tractive element for a power machine can include a frame, an endless track, a drive sprocket, and a first set of split rollers. The first set of rollers can include a first roller rotatably coupled to the first plate with a first axis of rotation and a second roller rotatably coupled to the second plate with a second axis of rotation. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation can be spaced apart from one another with a first roller offset distance, along a front-to-back direction of the tractive element, that can provide improved ride quality.

Tracked vehicle with adjustable track spacing

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 powertrain of the vehicle and/or without requiring use of additional parts (e.g. spacers).

Sprocket for mobile robot track drive

A novel sprocket for a track drive of a mobile robot may allow for some deformation of the track so that the track better conforms to the surface on which the robot travels. The novel sprocket also may prevent excessive track deformation or deflection that may result in undesirable de-tracking.

Chain drive
