VERFAHREN ZUM VERBINDEN VON ELEMENTEN EINES GELENKES MIT FESTGELEGTEM BETRIEBSSPIEL DURCH HERSTELLUNG VON AUFGEPRESSTEN VERBINDUNGEN

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the coupling of articulated track links with a determined tolerance by means of press fitting. In particular, said method is applied in the assembly of articulated link track chains for tracker vehicles where joint links (5) are pressed on to the two ends of a central pivot (2), on which at least one second element, or bushing (3) is rotably coupled, which bushing (3) is axially held by the two said joint links (5). According to the invention, all the elements, including spacers (4), are compressed into a "pack" configuration by the action of a maximum compression force, determined individually for each case with regard to the geometric characteristics of the various elements and the properties of the materials of which they are constituted, on the basis of the determination, effected during the course of the realisation of the press-fitting, of the total force necessary to overcome the opposition offered to relative axial sliding before reaching the "pack" configuration.
