TRACK VEHICLE HAVING DRIVE AND SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

摘要

A track vehicle (10) includes a cab (35) operable to support an operator. Left and right motors (210) each rotate an output shaft at a first speed, and a speed reduction system (220, 230, 240) is operably coupled to each output shaft. Left and right drive shafts (250) are driven by the speed reduction system (220, 230, 241) at a second speed that is slower than the first speed. Left and right drive sprockets (230) are mounted for rotation with the respective first and second drive shafts (250). Left and right track carriages (70) support the cab (35) and left and right tracks (350) are mounted for rotation about the track carriages in response to rotation of the respective left and right drive shafts (250), such that the left and right tracks (350) are driven by the left and right drive sprockets (230) to move the track vehicle (10) along a ground surface.
