The rubber crawler belt, employed in a tracked vehicle such as a construction machine, is a short pitch crawler belt which reduces the level of vibrations and noise caused during travelling of the vehicle, increases tractive power and rigidity of the crawler belt, and reduces bending strain of the crawler belt and abrasion of the lug. A rubber crawler belt has a construction wherein core members (1) are embedded in the rubber crawler belt and arranged so as to engage serially with every tooth of a drive wheel. Each core member has an engaging portion (2) for engaging with the drive wheel and which is provided in a widthwise central portion of the core member. Each of the right and left sides of the engaging portion is continuously provided with a guide projection (3), a rolling rail surface (4) and a wing portion (5). The front-rear directional dimension of the engaging portion A and the front-rear directional dimension of the wing portions are approximately the same. Further, engaging holes (9) for engaging with the drive wheel are formed between neighboring core members (1) in a widthwise central portion of the rubber crawler belt, and a lug is formed on the ground contact surface of the rubber crawler belt so as to extend across both the right and left side portions of the projection planes of a plurality of adjacent core members and gaps between the adjacent core members.
A rubber crawler belt for a tracked vehicle, wherein core members are embedded in said rubber crawler belt and arranged so as to engage serially with every tooth of a drive wheel, and engaging holes for engaging with said drive wheel are formed between neighboring core members and in a widthwise central portion of said rubber crawler belt, and at least one lug is formed on the ground contact surface of said rubber crawler belt so that at least a portion of one of said at least one lug extends across the right side portions of the projection planes of a plurality of adjacent core members and the gaps therebetween and at least a portion of one of said at least one lug extends across the left side portions of the projection planes of a plurality of adjacent core members and the gaps therebetween.
A rubber crawler belt for a tracked vehicle, wherein core members are embedded in said rubber crawler belt and arranged so as to engage serially with every tooth of a drive wheel, and each of said core members has an engaging portion for engaging with said drive wheel and which is provided in a widthwise central portion of said core member between a left side portion of said core member and a right side portion of said core member, each of the right side portion and the left side portion being provided with a guide projection, a rolling rail surface and a wing portion, and wherein the front-rear directional dimension A of said engaging portion and the front-rear directional dimension B of said wing portions are approximately the same
A rubber crawler belt for use on a tracked vehicle having a drive wheel with teeth, said rubber crawler belt having a left edge and a right edge extending in the belt-winding direction, a first surface for contacting the ground, and a second surface opposite said first surface, said second surface being adapted to contact said drive wheel during operation of the tracked vehicle;
