The invention relates to a track assembly for a tracked vehicle. Said track assembly comprises 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 comprises a brake arrangement for braking the drive wheel member, and a drive axle coaxially arranged relative to a centre axis of said drive wheel member for rotating said drive wheel member. Said brake arrangement is configured to be journaled in bearings in connection to a portion of the drive axle. Said brake arrangement comprises a torque arm configured to be connected to said track support beam so as to essentially prevent rotation of a brake housing of said brake arrangement 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 configured to support a plurality of road wheels, a drive wheel member, and a drive arrangement for operating said drive wheel member, said drive wheel member being configured to be 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, and a brake arrangement for braking the drive wheel member, wherein said drive arrangement comprises a drive axle being configured to be coaxially arranged relative to said centre axis of said drive wheel member for rotating said drive wheel member, wherein the brake arrangement comprises a housing configured to provide an enclosure for brake members of said brake arrangement, wherein said brake arrangement is configured to be journaled in bearings in connection to a portion of the drive axle protruding from said drive wheel member so as to allow rotation of said drive axle relative to said brake housing, wherein said brake arrangement comprises a torque arm configured to be connected to said track support beam so as to prevent rotation of said brake housing of said brake arrangement about said centre axis, wherein said torque arm is attached to or constitutes a portion of said brake housing.
