A track system for use with a vehicle includes an attachment assembly connectable to the chassis of the vehicle having a first pivot extending vertically and defining a yaw pivot axis of the track system, and a second pivot extending laterally and defining a pitch pivot axis of the track system. A frame assembly is disposed laterally outwardly from the attachment assembly and connected thereto. The frame assembly includes at least one wheel-bearing frame member. The track system further includes at least one actuator connected between the attachment assembly and the frame assembly for pivoting the frame assembly about the yaw pivot axis, a leading idler wheel assembly at least indirectly connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, a trailing idler wheel assembly at least indirectly connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, at least one support wheel assembly, and an endless track.

A track roller includes a body having a revolved configuration defining an axis of rotation, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction disposed about the axis of rotation. A first axial extremity and a second axial extremity are disposed along the axis of rotation. The body of revolution further includes a first rim portion disposed proximate to the first axial extremity, and a second rim portion disposed proximate to the second axial extremity. An outboard track contact surface is disposed axially proximate to the first rim portion, and an inboard slot is disposed axially proximate to the second rim portion.

A track roller rim is disclosed. The track roller rim may include an outer member including an annular configuration defining an axis of rotation, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction disposed about the axis of rotation, where the outer member has an inner circumference, an outer circumference, a first axial end disposed along the axis of rotation, and a second axial end disposed along the axis of rotation. The track roller rim may include a first annular inner member, where the first annular inner member is interference fit within the inner circumference of the outer member at the first axial end. The track roller rim may include a second annular inner member, where the second annular inner member is interference fit within the inner circumference of the outer member at the second axial end.

A suspension system for a tracked vehicle includes a track roller configured to contact and roll relative to an inner surface of a track. In some examples, the track roller includes an axle member, a roller mounting bracket mechanically connected to the axle member, a frame mounting bracket configured to attach to a frame of the tracked vehicle, and a plurality of coil springs disposed between the roller mounting bracket and the frame mounting bracket. The plurality of coil springs is configured to reduce an impact force transferred from the track roller to the frame of the tracked vehicle.

A vertical idler adjuster includes a cam assembly having a cam supported in an adjuster frame for rotation about a cam axis, and an idler support surface having a vertical location that is adjusted relative to the adjuster frame when the cam is rotated. The cam assembly includes a screw linkage having a first set of teeth fixed to rotate with the cam, a drive shaft, and a second set of teeth on the drive shaft and in mesh with the first set of teeth such that rotation of the drive shaft rotates the cam to adjust a vertical position of an idler in an undercarriage system.

A ground-engaging track system includes a track roller having a roller shell with an outer tread surface, and a roller shaft supporting the roller shell for rotation and cantilevering the track roller to a track roller frame. The track roller is positionable in the track system to contact only one of a first track rail or a second rail in a ground-engaging track.
