A suspended undercarriage assembly connectable to a multi-member frame assembly of a track system includes a beam having a leading portion and a trailing portion, at least one support wheel assembly connectable to the beam, at least one of a leading resilient bushing assembly and a trailing resilient bushing assembly including a bushing having an opening defined therein and being shaped and dimensioned for promoting deformation of the bushing in at least one of a vertical direction and a lateral direction. The bushing is resiliently deformable to permit movement of the beam relative to the multi-member frame assembly in the vertical direction and in the lateral direction, and to resiliently bias the beam towards a rest position with respect to the multi-member frame assembly. A track system having the suspended undercarriage assembly is also provided.

A multi-member frame assembly for a track system includes a pivot pin defining a pivot axis, a leading frame member pivotally connected to the pivot pin for pivoting about the pivot axis, and a trailing frame member pivotally connected to the pivot pin for pivoting about the pivot axis, the trailing frame member pivoting independently from the leading frame member. A resilient member is pivotally connected to the leading frame member and to the trailing frame member. The resilient member extends generally vertically between the leading frame member and the trailing frame member. A track system having a multi-member frame assembly is also described.

A track system for traction of a vehicle comprising a track to engage the ground and comprising elastomeric material, a ground-engaging outer side and an inner side opposite to the ground-engaging outer side. The track system also comprises a track-engaging arrangement for driving and guiding the track around the track-engaging arrangement, which comprises: a drive wheel for movement of the track; a leading idler wheel and a trailing idler wheel spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the track system, and a plurality of roller wheels between the idler wheels. The track system also comprises a frame supporting the idler and roller wheels. The track system also comprises a plurality of mounts spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the track system to interconnect the frame of the track system to the vehicle frame, and allow movement of the frame of the track system relative to the vehicle frame.

A track assembly includes an elongated main frame supported for pivotal movement on a transverse axis and having opposite end portions supporting a set of end wheels. An endless flexible belt extends around the end wheels and has an upper run and a lower run for engaging the ground. A plurality of longitudinally spaced bogie wheels are positioned below the main frame and engage the lower run of the belt. The bogie wheels are carried by bogie frames supported for vertical movement and also for tilting movement relative to a plane defined by the axes of the end wheels. The bogie frames are urged or biased downwardly against the lower run of the belt by compression members extending from the main frame and preferably in the form of annular rubber spring members.

A rugged and compact articulated wheel with at least two hubs, and wheeled vehicles that include one or more of such articulated wheels.

A track assembly for providing traction to an off-road vehicle, such as an agricultural vehicle, a construction vehicle, or another work vehicle, in which the track assembly may comprise a suspension between a frame of the track assembly and a bogie carrying roller wheels of the track assembly.

A roller suspension system for a track-driven work vehicle may generally include a support beam and a resilient bushing configured to be coupled to the support beam. The resilient bushing may define a shaft opening. In addition, the system may include a roller wheel assembly having a roller wheel and a roller shaft. The roller wheel may be rotatable relative to the roller shaft. In addition, the roller shaft may be received within the shaft opening of the resilient bushing such that the roller shaft is coupled to the support beam via the resilient bushing.

A pivot assembly for connecting a ground-contacting wheel assembly to a frame member of a track system assembly has a base defining a first interlocking member, a resilient body structured for being received at least partially within the base and having a second interlocking member connectable to the first interlocking member, and an axle assembly configured for rotatably connecting the ground-contacting wheel assembly to the frame member, the axle assembly including a third interlocking member connectable to the second interlocking member. The resilient body is at least partially wrappable around the peripheral surface of the axle assembly. Upon deformation of the resilient body, the axle assembly is pivotally movable relative to the frame member of the track system assembly about at least one of a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis.

A track assembly includes an elongated main frame supported for pivotal movement on a transverse axis and having opposite end portions supporting a set of end wheels. An endless flexible belt extends around the end wheels and has an upper run and a lower run for engaging the ground. A plurality of longitudinally spaced bogie wheels are positioned below the main frame and engage the lower run of the belt. The bogie wheels are carried by bogie frames supported for vertical movement and also for tilting movement relative to a plane defined by the axes of the end wheels. The bogie frames are urged or biased downwardly against the lower run of the belt by compression members extending from the main frame and preferably in the form of annular rubber spring members.

A track assembly for a vehicle includes: a frame; a plurality of track-contacting wheels; an endless track disposed around the track-contacting wheels; a rotation limiting device for limiting rotation of the track assembly relative to a vehicle frame; a connection bracket for connecting the rotation limiting device to the frame; and a bushing assembly slidably connecting a device connecting end of the connection bracket to an elongate support of the rotation limiting device. The bushing assembly includes an inner bushing slidably mounted to the elongate support, an outer bushing affixed to the device connecting end, and a resilient element connected between the bushings. The resilient element is resiliently deformable such that: the inner bushing is rotatable relative to the outer bushing such that an inner bushing axis can be angled relative to an outer bushing axis; and the inner bushing is axially movable relative to the outer bushing.
