Very very interesting. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the people who asked for more detail about the links. Thanks for making the video. Also thanks for the landscape video.
Thank you so much for explaining this to me! Didn't know how complicated these were. Apparently the bearings are for efficiency on wear due to higher speeds and much longer distance travel.
I think you are right. yes the bigger panzers and half tracks were actually carried by rail most of the time toward where the action was. The Kettenkrad had to go probably futher distances for it served many roles.
This is very interestibg....I would have thought the bearing cup was pressed in the tracklink.. I love the hollow guidehorns...Would probably save a lot of weight too...
All German Halftrack tracks have needlebearing, to keep the trak friktion low and alow fast and dangerous higspeed :D later in the war some sdkfz switch to drypin tracks to save matirial and costs.
Makes sense. Thank you for your response! There were many tracked vehicles most had tracks designed just for that specific vehicle. I am not well versed in the wide variety of styles.
Thanks for explaining the way the tracks work.
You bet!

Hello, Yes the outer cup of the bearing is pressed into the track. Then the needle carrier fits in that.

It is pronounced Ketten-kr-ah-dt.
