ABSTRACT:
An isolated rim roller assembly guides and supports portions of the endless track of a track-type vehicle as that portion of the track travels between a drive wheel and an idler wheel of the vehicle. The metallic rims of the roller assembly are isolated from the roller shell by cushioning rings which are bonded to the rims and the roller shell. Noise and vibration generated by the metal to metal contact between the endless track and the rims is isolated from the remainder of the roller assembly by the cushioning rings. Conventional track supporting rollers have metal tread portions which generated objectionable noise and impact between the track and the treads. The subject roller assembly, with the isolated rims, reduces the noise and impact levels.
