Abstract: An assembly comprises a shaft defining a longitudinal axis, a first component supported on the shaft, a second component supported on the shaft, and an isolator positioned between the first component and the second component. The second component configured such that the second component induces a force having a component parallel to the axis of the shaft. The force component parallel to the axis of the shaft induced by the second component is transferred directly to the shaft by the isolator and is isolated from the first component.

Abstract: A hybrid electromechanical transmission for a tracked vehicle includes a drive motor and a steer motor with separate propulsion paths to output members of the transmission. A two-speed range package is provided, including an input planetary gear set and first and second clutches. The first and second clutches are selectively alternatively engagable to establish two speed ratios between the drive motor and the remainder of the transmission. Additionally, the drive motor and the steer motor are preferably designed with a module construction, allowing for easy connection and removal for serviceability via the use of axial V-clamps.
