Abstract:
A variable-diameter wheel 1 includes at least one rim or hub 11 having a predetermined diameter, to which at least one drive axle 14 of the wheel 1 is connected; at least one outer surface external to the hub 11, having a diameter which is greater than the diameter of the hub 11. At least one diameter-variation mechanism 3 is secured to the axle 14 and adapted to vary the actual diameter of the wheel 1 according to the torque applied to the drive axle 14 by at least one propulsion system.

Abstract:
A tracked system (10) with variable geometry includes a track (11), which has a portion (11p) having a respective first area (a1), the portion (11p) being, in use, in contact with the ground or the road surface.At least one driving wheel (12) is coupled to the track (11) and is suited to provide a driving force for the rotation of the track (11). At least one driven wheel (13) is coupled to the track (11). The tracked system (10) includes an actuator (14), which is suited to vary the geometry of part of the track (11). The actuator (14) has an intervention configuration, in which it configures the portion (11p) of the track (11) on at least one second area (a2) which, in use, is in contact with the ground.
Abstract:
A mechanical work sampling system (10) is for the operation of extensions articulated in vehicular applications. The system is susceptible of being applied on a tracked vehicle (30) and includes at least a supporting arm (40) and a secondary track (22; 23) associated to the supporting arm. The supporting arm (40) is configurable in rotation configuration within which it rotates with respect to a first end (41) through a sampling of work from the main propulsor of the tracked vehicle (30).
