  • Patent number: 9409612
    Abstract: A seal assembly can be incorporated into a track joint assembly of an undercarriage of a track-type machine. The track joint can have a first member pivotable about a rotational axis relative to a second member thereof. The first member includes a seal member engagement surface defining, at least in part, an axially-extending seal cavity about the rotational axis and within which the seal assembly is disposed. The seal assembly can include a thrust ring and a seal member mounted to the thrust ring. The seal member includes a first member engagement surface, a second member engagement surface, a frusto-conical inner relief surface, a thrust ring engagement surface, and an outer relief surface.

  • Publication number: 20070029020
    Abstract: A tire includes an annular body of elastomeric material that includes a middle radial region. A plurality of unpressurized cavities are defined by the middle radial region and are distributed in a pattern that includes a first radial band of cavities and a second radial band of cavities. Each cavity of the first radial band of cavities is oriented at a positive angle with respect to a radius therethrough, and each cavity of the second radial band of cavities is oriented at a negative angle with respect to a radius therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20050133133
    Abstract: A work machine tire includes an annular body of elastomeric material that includes a middle radial region. A plurality of unpressurized cavities are defined by the middle radial region and are distributed in a pattern that includes a first radial band of cavities and a second radial band of cavities. Each cavity of the first radial band of cavities is oriented at a positive angle with respect to a radius therethrough, and each cavity of the second radial band of cavities is oriented at a negative angle with respect to a radius therethrough. A material volume of the middle radial region is more than one and a half times greater than the combined void volume of the plurality of cavities.
