Assessment of Unevenness of Feeding Speed of Track Drives With a Triangular Circuit Form and Upper Location of the Drive Wheel

Abstract

In the work, the unevenness of the translational speed of a crawler with a triangular outline shape and the upper location of the drive wheel is analyzed. It was established that the value of the motion unevenness coefficient is a function of the design parameters of the engine. Of all these parameters, only the height of the location of the driving wheel practically cannot be changed, since it is determined by the dimensions of the tire in the wheel modification. Other structural parameters can change during the development of the engine design and, therefore, be the controlling elements in the system, which causes the unevenness of the translational speed.
