The invention relates to a track assembly for a tracked vehicle. Said track assembly includes a track support beam configured to support road wheels, a drive wheel member, and a drive arrangement for drive wheel member operation and an endless track disposed around said road wheels and drive wheel member. Said drive arrangement includes a drive unit for driving said drive wheel member, wherein said drive arrangement includes a drive axle being configured to be coaxially arranged relative to a centre axis of said drive wheel member for rotating said drive wheel member. Said drive unit is configured to be journaled in bearings to a portion of the drive axle. Said drive unit includes a torque arm configured to be connected to said track support beam so as to essentially prevent rotation of said drive unit about said centre axis.
A track assembly for a tracked vehicle, said track assembly being configured to be connected to a vehicle body of said vehicle, said track assembly comprising a track support beam supporting a plurality of road wheels, a drive wheel member, and a drive arrangement for operating said drive wheel member, said drive wheel member being rotated about a centre axis, an endless track being disposed around said road wheels and drive wheel member, wherein said drive arrangement comprises a drive unit for driving said drive wheel member, wherein said drive arrangement comprises a drive axle being coaxially arranged relative to said centre axis of said drive wheel member for rotating said drive wheel member, wherein said drive unit is journaled in bearings to a portion of the drive axle protruding from said drive wheel member, wherein said drive unit comprises a torque arm connected to said track support beam so as to essentially prevent rotation of said drive unit about said centre axis.
