Endless track articulation sealing device for tracked vehicles

摘要

A seal (1) for an endless track (10) has a cross section having a centerline (2) parallel to an axis of the seal (1) and a configuration symmetric with respect to the centerline (2) of the cross section. The seal (1) can include an elastically deformably configured portion (3) having a cross section like alphabetical letter X, and a protrusion (8) extending from an intersection (6) of legs (4, 5) of letter X in a bushing-side direction further than a plane (7) connecting bushing-side end portions of the legs (4, 5) of letter X. The protrusion (8) has an end surface (9) where the protrusion (8) contacts the bushing (11). The seal (1) can further include an embedding portion (20) embedded in a space between legs (4, 5) of letter X, on a bushing-side of the intersection (6) of the legs (4, 5) of letter X.
