CRAWLER OR TRACKED VEHICLE WITH A DEVICE FOR DAMPING THE VIBRATIONS OF THE TRACK DRIVE

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1, 1') for damping the vibrations acting upon a track vehicle. Said device is characterized in that the long torsion bar springs which so far have been used to absorb torsion are subdivided into a plurality of smaller torsion bar springs (3-6, 12₁, 12_n). Said torsion bar springs (3-6, 12₁, 12_n) are operationally interconnected via known drive or transmission elements (7-9) and accommodated outside the interior, thereby removing the need for installation space for the damping device (1) at a right angle to and below the vehicle chassis, and reducing it to the lateral zone or inside a minor recess in the chassis, a so-called chassis recess.
