Abstract: In addition to considering traction performances of linear motion for tracked vehicles is interesting to consider the traction performance of turning, because the turning is performed by changing of tracks power balance. Accordingly, the determination of internal losses during the turning experimentally, as the need arises.
This paper describes the configuration of the test stand on which were performed measurements of the power parameters, necessary for determining of the transmission losses in turning. It is given a theoretical overview of power flows during the turning of the applied test configuration stand. It is also shown the test procedures with the guidance of the parameters during the measurements were taken as variables. As a result of the testing it is given depending of the transmission efficiency depending on the different power parameters.

Key words: tracked vehicle, turning, transmission, power balance.
