Patent number: 12049266Abstract: A track roller shaft comprises a body including a revolved surface defining an axis of rotation, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction disposed about the axis of rotation. The body also defines a proximate axial end disposed along the axis of rotation, a radially extending hole that is disposed axially adjacent to the proximate axial end, and a guide member receiving pocket disposed axially farther away from the proximate axial end than the radially extending hole.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Brian B. Umbach, Gennaro Suanno, Roger L. Recker, Daniel E. Mathien, Dale T. Call, Jr., Jordan M. Heise, Scott H. Magner

Patent number: 11807318Abstract: A track pad may include a base member and a roller path member extending from the base member. The roller path member may include a roller path surface for engaging with a roller of a machine. The roller path member may include a leading side and a trailing side in a direction of travel of the machine. The roller path member may include a hardened region that extends from the roller path surface and a body region adjacent the hardened region. The hardened region may have a greater hardness than the body region. The hardened region may have a uniform depth from the leading side to the trailing side of the roller path member.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Jones, Scott H. Magner

Patent number: 11572113Abstract: A track roller rim is disclosed. The track roller rim may include an outer member including an annular configuration defining an axis of rotation, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction disposed about the axis of rotation, where the outer member has an inner circumference, an outer circumference, a first axial end disposed along the axis of rotation, and a second axial end disposed along the axis of rotation. The track roller rim may include a first annular inner member, where the first annular inner member is interference fit within the inner circumference of the outer member at the first axial end. The track roller rim may include a second annular inner member, where the second annular inner member is interference fit within the inner circumference of the outer member at the second axial end.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Temitope O. Akinlua, Brice James Herbers, Scott H. Magner, Michael Stephen Galat, Brian B. Umbach
