Track System for Traction of a Vehicle

摘要

A track system for traction of a vehicle (e.g., an agricultural vehicle). The track system is connectable to an axle of the vehicle. The track system comprises a track and a track-engaging assembly for driving and guiding the track around the track-engaging assembly. The track comprises elastomeric material to flex around the track-engaging assembly. The track-engaging assembly comprises a drive wheel for driving the track, a plurality of idler wheels for contacting a bottom run of the track, and a bogie carrying the idler wheels. The track system comprises a transmission for transmitting power from the axle of the vehicle to the drive wheel such that a rotational speed of the drive wheel is different from a rotational speed of the axle of the vehicle. The track system comprises a connector disposed between the transmission and the bogie such that the bogie is movable (e.g., pivotable) relative to the transmission. The connector may be disposed below an output shaft of the transmission.
