Endless track and a manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

An endless track includes an iron link belt, a continuous pad, and a connecting device. The iron link belt includes a link unit assembly constructed of a plurality of link units connected to each other. Each link unit includes a pair of links. The iron link belt may include a plate welded to the pair of links and extending perpendicularly to a direction in which the link unit assembly extends. The continuous pad includes the same number of core metal plates as that of the link units and a single urethane rubber belt covering and being attached to a ground opposing surface of each of the core metal plates. The urethane rubber belt extends continuously over all of the core metal plates. The urethane rubber belt may include a small thickness portion positioned between two adjacent core metal plates. The connecting device connects the iron link belt and the continuous pad.
