20100263353 | EXHAUST TREATMENT DEVICE HAVING FLOW-PROMOTING END CAPS - An end cap for an exhaust treatment device is disclosed. The end cap has a cylindrical housing with an axial direction, a radial direction substantially orthogonal to the axial direction, a first open end, and a second closed end opposing the first open end in the axial direction. The end cap also has an integral port member extending from an annular surface of the cylindrical housing. The integral port member has a central axis aligned in the radial direction, and an exterior surface of the integral port member tangentially connects to an exterior surface of the cylindrical housing. | 10-21-2010 |
20120156520 | HARDFACING PROCESS AND PARTS PRODUCED THEREBY - A hardfacing process includes depositing a clad layer having a thickness greater than about 1 mm (0.04 in) on a surface of the component by arc welding, and creating a heat affected zone directly below the clad layer due to the depositing. The heat affected zone may be a region of the component where a lowest hardness is more than 40% lower than a base hardness of the component below the heat affected zone. The method may also include heat treating the component after the deposition such that the lowest hardness in the heat affected zone is restored to within about 15% of the base hardness of the component. | 06-21-2012 |
20130002009 | MOBILE MACHINE TRACK SHOE - A mobile machine track shoe includes a ground engaging surface including a first grouser bar and a second grouser bar substantially parallel to the first grouser bar. The track shoe further includes a base opposite the ground engaging surface. The base includes a first relief disposed opposite the first grouser bar, and a second relief disposed opposite the second grouser bar. | 01-03-2013 |
20130002011 | TRACK PIN RETENTION SYSTEM - A chain link for a track of a mobile machine includes a pin, and a retention ring coupled to the pin at a mechanical joint. A portion of the retention ring fills imperfections of the pin at the joint and the pin remains substantially metallurgically separate from the retention ring. The chain link also includes a first track link defining a hole having a step. The first track link is mounted on the pin such that the retention ring is disposed substantially within the step. | 01-03-2013 |
20140152086 | UNDERCARRIAGE TRACK LINK - A track link is disclosed for use with an undercarriage of a machine. The track link may have a body with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The track link may also have a shoe face extending between the first and second surfaces at a side of the body, and a roller rail extending between the first and second surfaces at a side of the body opposite the shoe face, The body may have a substantially uniform hardness of about 45 to 55 Rkw C between the shoe face and the roller rail. | 06-05-2014 |
20150061370 | TRACK JOINT ASSEMBLIES - Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of a track joint assembly. In one exemplary embodiment, the track joint assembly may include a first link having a first bore. The track joint assembly may also include a second link having a second bore. Additionally, the track joint assembly may include a pin positioned at least partially within the first bore. The track joint assembly may also include an inner bushing positioned coaxially around the pin, and at least partially within the second bore. In addition, the track joint assembly may include an outer bushing positioned coaxially around the inner bushing. The track joint assembly may also include a seal assembly positioned between the first link and the second link to form a hermetic seal between the first link and the second link. | 03-05-2015 |
20150061371 | TRACK JOINT ASSEMBLIES - Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of a track joint assembly. In one exemplary embodiment, the track joint assembly may include a first link having a first bore. The track joint assembly may also include a second link having a second bore including first and second portions. The first and second portions may have different diameters. In addition, the track joint assembly may include a solid pin positioned at least partially within the first bore. The track joint may also include a bushing positioned coaxially around the pin. The bushing may include an axial end portion disposed in and contacting the first portion of the second bore. The bushing may also include an axial end-adjacent portion disposed in and contacting the second portion of the second bore. An outer diameter of the end-adjacent portion may be larger than an outer diameter of the end portion. | 03-05-2015 |
