A track pin assembly includes a pin having a first axial end and a second axial end configured to engage a respective outer link of a joint, a first cavity which defines a tank for containing lubricating oil or grease, and a second cavity arranged at the second axial end of the pin and open at the second axial end of the pin. A sensor, arranged in the second cavity, includes a sensor element configured to measure a temperature and to generate a signal indicative of the measured temperature, and a transmitter configured to irradiate a measuring signal that is representative of the signal generated by the sensor element. A power source, arranged in the second cavity, is configured to constantly supply the sensor.

A cable carrier for accommodating and guiding cables, comprising parallel first link strands of opposing first links which are connected to each other by means of first cross stays, wherein outside at least one first link strand and parallel to this a second link strand of second links is arranged, which are opposite the first links of the adjacent first link strand and of which at least some are connected by way of second cross stays to the opposite first links, and wherein, between at least some of the opposing first and second links, rollers are arranged which project beyond the first and second links on at least one side of the cable carrier perpendicular to the first and second cross stays.

A link (2) for a chain (1), and a chain (1) of links (2), the link (2) comprising a body defining first and second parallel through bores (4) separated by a length, in which the body has a first width (d1) perpendicular to the length over at least a portion of the body adjacent to each bore (4) and a second width (d2) through each bore (4) parallel to the first width (d1) and perpendicular to the length, in which the first (d1) and second (d2) widths are different. The links (2) may be joined by joints (3), each joint (3) joining a pair of successive links (2), each joint (3) comprising a body (5a, 5b) and two shafts (6), the body (5a, 5b) supporting the two shafts (6), with each shaft (6) engaging the first bore (4) of one of the pair of links (2) and the second bore (4) of the other of the pair of links (2), the joint (3) being arranged such that it can rotate relative to each of the of the pair of links (2) about the shaft (6) which engages each link (2).

In a method for determining the elongation of segments of a chain of a chain drive during operation, a plurality of measured values is determined at different positions of the chain. A plurality of length values is determined from the plurality of measured values and a position of the segments of the chain is determined. The length values are assigned to the segments of the chain, with the length of the segments of the chain being smaller than the length of the chain.
