Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An assembly is described for braking and indexing rotating components, including guide rollers of balers. A wheel is attached to a rotating component and is surrounded, at least in part, by a traction device. A tensioning assembly with a lost motion linkage is attached to the traction device and to a frame. A counterforce assembly is also attached to the traction device and to the frame. When a portion of the tensioning assembly is moved in a braking direction, the stop prevents further movement of the lost motion linkage to apply a tensioning force to the traction device. The tensioning force is resisted by the counterforce assembly to impose a braking force on the wheel and thereby brake the rotating component. Moving the portion of the tensioning assembly in a release direction moves the lost motion linkage away from the stop, thereby reducing the braking force on the wheel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A brake assembly for a work machine having a frame and at least one rotating component, the brake assembly comprising: a wheel attached to and rotating with the at least one rotating component; a traction device surrounding, at least in part, the wheel; a tensioning assembly attached to the frame at a frame attachment point of the tensioning assembly, the tensioning assembly including a lost motion linkage limited by a stop to a limited range of motio…
