telaketjun
The telaketjun, often translated as "continuous track" or "caterpillar track" in English, is a type of vehicle propulsion system that utilizes a band of treads. This system consists of a long, flexible, and segmented metal band that wraps around two or more wheels, typically the drive sprocket and idler wheel. As the drive sprocket rotates, it engages with the links of the track, causing the entire band to move forward or backward. The weight of the vehicle is distributed over a large surface area of the track, which significantly reduces ground pressure. This characteristic allows vehicles equipped with telaketjun to traverse soft or uneven terrain, such as mud, sand, snow, or marshland, with greater ease than wheeled vehicles.
Telaketjun systems are commonly found on heavy-duty vehicles like tanks, armored personnel carriers, bulldozers, excavators, and
