A track for a track system includes an endless elastomeric carcass having a wheel-facing side defining a wheel path for engaging wheels of the track system, and a ground-facing side opposite the wheel-facing side. A plurality of lugs project from the wheel-facing side. Each lug has a base and a side wall extending from the base. The base is distanced from the ground-facing side by a first distance. The wheel path has a first track side portion extending adjacent the base of at least some lugs of the plurality of lugs. The base defines an undercut extending between the side wall and the first track side portion of the wheel path. The undercut defines a recess extending inwardly towards a lateral center of the track, and has a bottom. The first distance extends between the bottom of the undercut and the ground-facing side of the track.

Track and wheel for a track system, and track system comprising the same

A track for a track system has a ground-facing side and a wheel-facing side including lugs having a base and defining a wheel path on which wheels of a track engaging assembly rolls on, the wheel path having first and second track side portions, and an intermediate track portion. When the wheel supports a load smaller than a nominal load, a distance between the base and the ground-facing side is smaller than a distance between the intermediate track portion and the ground-facing side. When the wheel supports a load equal or greater than the nominal load, a distance between the base and the ground-facing side is substantially equal to or smaller than a distance between the intermediate track portion and the ground-facing side. A wheel for a track system is also described. A track system comprising a wheel and a track is also described.

A track for a vehicle having a plurality of wheels for driving the track on a terrain. The track has an endless elastomeric carcass having a wheel-facing side that is mountable onto the plurality of wheels, and a ground-facing side opposite the wheel-facing side. A plurality of elastomeric traction surfaces is positioned on the ground-facing side. Each of the traction surfaces has a first shape when the track is not mounted onto the plurality of wheels. A plurality of primary load distribution members is positioned transversely and distributed longitudinally in the carcass so as to distribute at least parts of downward wheel forces applied by at least one of the wheels when the track is being driven down onto the wheel-facing side of the carcass into the traction surfaces via flexion of the primary load distribution members.
