Guide/Drive Lugs
Guide/Drive Lugs are the features on the inside surface of a rubber track which interface with
the undercarriage. They serve to retain and guide the track on the undercarriage, and in some
(positive drive) systems, engage the drive wheel to assist in power transfer in the manner of cogs.
The majority of Goodyear’s rubber tracks have a single row of guide/drive lugs that run down the
center of the track carcass. These lugs are generally restrained between paired idler and roller
wheels on the undercarriage. However, Goodyear also produces tracks having multiple rows of
guide/drive lugs (for example, dual rows at the edges of the track) for special applications.
The most popular (single row) guide/drive lugs are:
