Track roller with reduced stiffness

A track roller (300) includes a body (302) having an annular configuration defining an axis of rotation (304), a radial direction (308), and a circumferential direction (306) disposed about the axis of rotation (304). The body (302) also defines a thru-hole (316) extending axially through the body (...

Zusammenfassung:A track roller (300) includes a body (302) having an annular configuration defining an axis of rotation (304), a radial direction (308), and a circumferential direction (306) disposed about the axis of rotation (304). The body (302) also defines a thru-hole (316) extending axially through the body (302) that is centered on the axis of rotation (304). A blind void (318) is disposed annularly about the axis of rotation (304), the blind void (318) being spaced radially away from the thru-hole (316) a predetermined minimum distance (332), forming a cantilever portion (320) defining a flex point (326) and a flex radial distance (328) measured radially from the flex point (326) to the thru-hole (316).
