ABSTRACT:
A bogie drive and suspension system for a rough terrain vehicle. Suspension is by a pair of walking beams, each of which is supported by trunnions which are integral and coaxial angle drive transfer units at the ends of the walking beam transfer power to wheel end reduction units. The transfer units are of modular construction including pre-assembled and pre-aligned right angle bevel gear sets. Flexible gear type couplings, connecting the central transfer unit with the wheel end transfer units, permit deflection of the walking beams under load without affecting gear alignment.
