Abstract: A track roller assembly for a work machine includes a track roller frame with drive and idler wheels and an endless track disposed about the wheels. Mid-rollers are located between the drive and idler wheels. Each mid-roller has a shaft mounted on a bogie frame and a pair of mid-roller hubs having roller wheels attached thereon mounted on the shaft, with one mid-roller hub and wheel on either side of the bogie frame. Each mid-roller hub has a guide facing the guide blocks. The track roller assembly has an alignment sensing mechanism to detect misalignment of the track. An adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust the alignment of the track in relation to the drive and idler wheels. A controller receives input from the sensor when the sensor paddle is moved to the misaligned position and causes the adjustment mechanism to adjust the alignment of the endless track belt.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a type of secure and efficient wheel assembly using fluid or solid stuffing materials so as to minimize the blowout risks, a wheel rim transmission assembly, an energy exchanging arrangement used in transporting system, and a vehicle energy storage system, as well as corresponding methods for manufacturing and preparing such assemblies and arrangements in applications.

Abstract: A wheel assembly for a vehicle. The wheel assembly includes a brake assembly which defines the outer radius of an annular region about the axis of the wheel assembly and a damping mass assembly for damping vertical vibrations of the wheel assembly, located within the annular region.

Abstract: A vehicle suspension system includes a vehicle body subframe, a wheel with a tire mounted upon a wheel hub assembly having a wheel spindle inside the wheel bearing. A wheel damping mass of ogival shape surrounds the outer race of the wheel bearing and is formed with a vertical slot whose length is perpendicular to the major diameter of the ogival cross section. The damping mass is formed with a pair of openings on each side of the vertical slot that accommodates a support assembly including a vertical shaft held by a shaft retainer intermediate the shaft ends, upper and lower bearings and centering springs located between the shaft retainer and each of the latter bearings. Damping fluid dissipates vibrational energy and may comprise a major component of the damping mass.
