TANDEM WHEEL ASSEMBLY WITH WHEEL END BRAKE ASSEMBLY
20220340005 · 2022-10-27 ·

A tandem wheel assembly for a work vehicle includes a tandem wheel housing, a center drive member rotatably disposed within the housing, first and second wheel end assemblies, a coupler between each wheel end drive member and the center drive member, and a brake assembly. Each wheel end assembly includes an input shaft, a wheel end drive member mounted thereon, a wheel end gear train coupled to the input shaft, an output shaft coupled to the wheel end gear train, and a wheel end hub coupled to the output shaft for supporting one of the wheels. The brake assembly is coupled to the tandem wheel housing and to the input shaft or the output shaft of at least one of the first wheel end assembly or the second wheel end assembly and reduces the amount of backlash.

BOGIE SYSTEMS FOR AUTONOMOUS AND REMOTE-PILOTED VEHICLES

Various systems and techniques for providing enhancements to bogie-equipped vehicles are described and discussed. Such systems and techniques include, for example, actively driven bogie differentials, elevated obstacle mounting techniques, worm-drive steering, parking modes using toe-in or toe-out wheel steering, speed-sensitive steering mode selection, and various other enhancements and techniques.

Assemblies for Pivotably Mounting and/or Removing Wheels
20170291654 · 2017-10-12 · ·

A pivotable wheel mount assembly may include a mounting bracket and a swing arm coupled to the mounting bracket. The swing arm may be movably coupled to the mounting bracket or the trailer and to a wheel and/or suspension so as to enable the wheel to be rotated from a downward or operational position to a horizontal or stowed position. The assembly may include an actuator support bracket coupled to the mounting bracket and an actuator that provides mechanical assistance moving the wheels between positions. One or more locking mechanisms may be provided to secure the assembly in either the operational position, the stowed position, or both.

Arrangement and method for enabling rotation movement between tandem or caterpillar axle and body of vehicle
09738321 · 2017-08-22 · ·

An arrangement and method are provided for enabling rotation movement between a tandem or caterpillar axle and a body of a vehicle. This type of vehicle includes at least one body part that is provided with a tandem or caterpillar axle. At least one body part includes a main body and an auxiliary body connected to it to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the vehicle or an essentially parallel axis thereto. The tandem or caterpillar axle is connected substantially rigidly to the main body, and the body part has at least one actuator for controlling the rotation movement between the main body and auxiliary body. In this way, changes in the position and motion status of the auxiliary body, especially in relation to the rotation around the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, are arranged to cause in the actuator a pushing or pulling motion that steers the auxiliary body to a rotation movement for the purpose of arranging the auxiliary body to a substantially horizontal position.
