CPC B62D 55/30 (2013.01) [B62D 55/12 (2013.01); B62D 55/065 (2013.01)] | 19 Claims |
1. A work machine comprising:
a first idler wheel;
a drivable track engaged with the first idler wheel;
an actuator coupled to the first idler wheel and configured to move the first idler wheel between a first position in which the drivable track experiences a first tension and a second position in which the drivable track experiences a second tension different than the first tension; and
a controller configured to receive signals indicative of: a geometry of the drivable track, a mass of the drivable track, a tractive load on the work machine, and a speed of the work machine;
wherein the controller is configured to determine whether the actuator is at a critical pressure based on the received signals indicative of: the geometry of the drivable track, the mass of the drivable track, the tractive load on the work machine, and the speed of the work machine;
wherein the critical pressure is a pressure at which vibrations of the work machine are induced; and
wherein, in response to determining that the actuator is at the critical pressure, the controller is configured to send a signal causing movement of the actuator such that the pressure of the actuator is adjusted to be different than the critical pressure.
