Abstract: A final drive assembly for a machine includes an input shaft drivably coupled to a prime mover. The input shaft is coupled to and drives a first stage gear assembly. The first stage gear assembly further drives a second stage gear assembly. The first and second stage gear assemblies drive a ring gear which is coupled to a wheel of the machine. The first and second stage gear assemblies are disposed between a first bearing assembly and a second bearing assembly. A spring member preloads the first bearing assembly to limit an axial movement of the first and second stage gear assemblies.

Abstract: A chip detector includes a plug configured to be coupled to a housing. The plug includes a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member spaced apart from each other so as to define a gap therebetween. Each of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is a rare earth magnet. A first electric contact is electrically coupled with the first magnetic member and a second electric contact is electrically coupled with the second magnetic member. A resistor is electrically coupled between the first electric contact and the second electric contact. An energy storage device is configured to provide a voltage difference between the first electric contact and the second electric contact. An indicating member is configured to provide an indication of a flow of current between the first and second electric contacts due to collection of chips in the gap between the first and second magnetic members.

Abstract: A data monitoring system for a final drive is disclosed. The final drive includes a first planetary gear assembly and a cover plate. The data monitoring system includes a first probe, a second probe, a data acquisition system, a wireless router, and an engagement member. The first probe and the second probe generate a first and second electric signal that corresponds to a radial and axial movement of the first planetary carrier, respectively. The data monitoring system is mounted on the cover plate, receives the first and second electric signal, and calculates positional data of the first planetary carrier. The wireless router is mounted on the cover plate, receives the positional data from the data acquisition system, and transmits it to a remote device. The engagement member is configured to transfer electrical power from a power source to the data monitoring system.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement is disclosed herein. The follower shaft extends within a housing to interface with the housing and senses rotational movement of a base shaft. The sealing arrangement includes a mount member and a seal member. The mount member includes a first end attached to the housing, a second end defining a seal-receiving portion, and an opening throughout. The follower shaft extends through the opening. The seal member has an outer perimeter portion that is adapted to engage with the seal receiving portion. The seal member has an inner resilient portion adapted to seal the perimeter of the follower shaft. The second end of the mount member is structured and arranged to resiliently deflect in correspondence with the resilient inner portion of the seal member. This limits the deflection of the resilient inner portion of the seal member in response to radial movement of the follower shaft.
