Track Belt and a Track Assembly

Abstract

A track belt comprises a bearing element (10) having an inner surface (12), an outer surface (14) and a width. On the inner surface, a guide element (16) extends in the longitudinal direction of the track belt, comprising a first edge protrusion (20a) and a second edge protrusion (20b). The width of the guide element is substantially smaller than the width of the bearing element. The track belt comprises a first guide groove (18a) having a first flank surface (22a) formed by the first edge protrusion, and a second guide groove (18b) having a first flank surface formed by the second edge protrusion. The first flank surfaces of the edge protrusions are uniform and continuous substantially over the entire length of the guide element. Preferably, the guide element comprises a traction surface (24) parallel to the inner surface of the bearing element, having engaging members (25) for receiving the engaging parts of the drive wheel.
