Properties

Figure 1  Single Pin Track Link property page [Geometry Data page]

The Single Pin Track Link property page is shown in Figure 1. The parameters are explained below. In order to understand the geometry, refer to Dimension Information.

•     No. of Links: Generates a link or links as the number of setting links.

•    You can generate from one to five.

•    The generating links can be edited in the clone body.

•    It is same to apply in Track_HM (Single, Double, Inner Pin Track link) and Track_LM.

Figure 2  Example of three link sets

•     Link Body: Defines geometric characteristics for Link Body.

•    Left Length (Ll): Enters the left length of link.

•    Right Length (Lr): Enters the right length of link.

•    Upper Height (Hu): Enters the upper height of link.

•    Lower Height (Hb): Enters the lower height of link.

•    Width (Wb): Enters the width of link.

•    Connector Length (Lt):

•     Pin Length (Lp): Enters the length of pin body.

•     Pin Radius (Rp): Enters the radius of pin body.

•     Centerguide Length (Lc): Enters the length of center guide body.

•     Centerguide Thickness (Tc): Enters the thickness of center guide body.

•     Left Pin Position (Plp): Enters the position of left pin body.

•     Right Pin Position (Rrp): Enters the position of right pin body.

•     Centerguide Position (Pc): Enters the position of center guide body.

•     Use User-defined Bushing Position: If it is checked, Bushing force can be defined on different position with pin position.

•    Left Bushing Position: Defines a base marker position of Bushing force

•    Right Bushing Position: Defines an action marker position of Bushing force

•    Bushing Width: Defines a width between two bushing forces.

•     Draw: Shows the shoe pad geometry. The user can change the position and size. Also, the shoe pad geometry can be modified in Shoe Pad page.

Figure 4  Shoe Pad Editor dialog box

•    Define First Shoe Pad: The user can create a shoe pad by a mouse in Draw dialog box. It can be available in the link.

•    Define Second Shoe Pad: If Double Shoe Pad in Shoe Pad page is used, this function is activated. The user can create a shoe pad by a mouse in Draw dialog box. It can be available in the link.

•     Dimension Information: Shows dimension information of the geometry for Roller Link.

•     Calculator: It is useful for finding specific value to define the relation of between sprockets and Track links. For more information, click here.
