Abstract
A track comprises track modules making up a track chain. Each track module comprises a first and a second track link and a plurality of pin assemblies. Each pin assembly comprises a hinging pin and a main pin bushing. Each hinging pin terminates in two coupling pin ends. Each coupling pin end of said hinging pins fits in a respective pin coupling seat of a track link of an adjacent track module. Each coupling pin end is delimited by a shoulder resting or however arranged for resting against a respective track link of an adjacent track module so as to prevent or limit the axial displacement of said hinging pins relative to the track links of the adjacent track module.

A track, comprising:
- a plurality of track modules connected and articulated together so as to form a track chain;
- wherein each track module comprises a first and a second track link arranged side by side one to another and a plurality of pin assemblies connecting the first to the second track link;
- wherein each track link forms a first and a second opposite end;
- wherein said first end forms a pin coupling seat;
- wherein said second end forms a bushing coupling seat;
- wherein each pin assembly comprises a hinging pin and a main pin bushing;
- wherein each hinging pin terminates in two coupling pin ends arranged at opposite positions one to another;
- wherein each coupling pin end of said hinging pins fits in a respective pin coupling seat of a track link of an adjacent track module;
- wherein each main pin bushing terminates in two coupling bushing ends arranged at opposite axial positions one to another;
- wherein each coupling bushing end of said main pin bushing fits in a respective bushing coupling seat of a track link of the track module of which said main pin bushing is part;
- wherein the main pin bushing has a substantially tubular shape, extends over at least 0.4 times the axial length of the hinging pin and contains at least part of the hinging pin so as to connect and articulate the track module of which the pin assembly is part to an adjacent track module;
- wherein each coupling pin end is delimited by a shoulder resting or however arranged for resting against a respective track link of an adjacent track module so as to prevent or limit the axial displacement of said hinging pins relative to the track links of the adjacent track module.
