Abstract: An assembly for enabling rotational motion in a vehicle or mobile working machine is disclosed which includes at least two sections arranged in an overlying position relative to the vehicle's or working machine's working surface. A top section can be led to motion relative to a bottom section and a longitudinal rotation axis, the top section and the bottom section being movably coupled to each other by at least one trajectory element which generates a curvilinear trajectory. The relative motion of the top section and the bottom section proceeds along a curvilinear trajectory in a section plane which is perpendicular relative to the lengthwise rotation axis. The trajectory can be at least partly in the shape of a circular arc, the midpoint of this curvilinear trajectory being disposed below the bottom section. An actuator mounted on the vehicle or working machine affects the top section and/or the bottom section.

Abstract: A modular crawler-track unit for a forest machine has an engine, a chassis with a pivot bearing and a crawler-track frame. A sleeve shaft is attached to the crawler-track frame to support the crawler-track frame on the pivot bearing. A drive wheel is mounted in bearings in the crawler-track frame inside a circulation of a crawler mat. A support is arranged in the crawler-track frame inside the circulation to support a part of the crawler mat against the ground. A drive shaft is mounted in bearings in the crawler-track frame coaxially with the sleeve shaft to transmit power to the crawler-track unit. A shaft mounted in bearings on the crawler-track frame pivots the drive wheel to the crawler-track frame at a distance from the drive shaft. A power-transmission is fitted between the shaft and the drive shaft to transmit power from the drive shaft to the drive wheel.

Abstract: A vehicle or machine suitable for operation on uneven or inclined surfaces, such as a forest work unit, comprises at least three frame parts and two rotational planes. Each frame part has rotational planes, in each particular case, on an interface between two successive frame parts of the vehicle or machine. The rotational planes are, in each particular case, planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle or machine in the neutral position. The frame parts are thus arranged to be independently rotatable in relation to the rotational plane.

Abstract: An arrangement and method are provided for enabling rotation movement between a tandem or caterpillar axle and a body of a vehicle. This type of vehicle includes at least one body part that is provided with a tandem or caterpillar axle. At least one body part includes a main body and an auxiliary body connected to it to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the vehicle or an essentially parallel axis thereto. The tandem or caterpillar axle is connected substantially rigidly to the main body, and the body part has at least one actuator for controlling the rotation movement between the main body and auxiliary body. In this way, changes in the position and motion status of the auxiliary body, especially in relation to the rotation around the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, are arranged to cause in the actuator a pushing or pulling motion that steers the auxiliary body to a rotation movement for the purpose of arranging the auxiliary body to a substantially horizontal position.
