Ithangi eliphakathi M46 "Patton" noma "General Patton" UGeneral Patton - ngokuhlonishwa kukaGenerali George Smith Patton, ovame ukufushaniswa ku "Patton". Ngo-1946, ithangi le-M26 Pershing, elazibonakalisa kahle ezimpini zeMpi Yezwe II, lenziwa lesimanjemanje, elihlanganisa ukufaka injini entsha, enamandla kakhulu, kusetshenziswa i-hydromechanical power transmission enkulu, ukufaka isibhamu sezinga elifanayo, kodwa. ngedatha ye-ballistic ethuthukisiwe, isistimu entsha yokulawula kanye namadrayivu amasha okulawula umlilo.Idizayini yenqola yangaphansi nayo yashintshwa. Ngenxa yalokho, ithangi liye lasinda, kodwa isivinini salo sahlala sinjalo. Ngo-1948, imoto yesimanje yafakwa ngaphansi kwegama elithi M46 "Patton" futhi kuze kube ngu-1952 ibhekwa njengethangi eliyinhloko le-US Army. Ngokubukeka, ithangi le-M46 lalicishe lihluke kumanduleli walo, ngaphandle kokuthi ethangini le-Patton amanye amapayipi okukhipha umoya afakwe futhi umklamo we-undercarriage nesibhamu washintshwa kancane. I-hull kanye ne-turret ngokuklama nokuqina kwezikhali kwahlala kufana nethangi le-M26. Lokhu kuchazwa ukuthi lapho edala i-M46, abaseMelika basebenzisa isitokwe esikhulu se-Pershing tank hulls, ukukhiqizwa kwayo kwanqanyulwa ekupheleni kwempi. I-M46 Patton yayinesisindo sokulwa esingamathani angama-44 futhi yayihlome ngenganono ezenzakalelayo engu-90-mm MZA1, okwathi, kanye nemaski eboshelwe kumbeleko we-cannon, yafakwa ku-embrasure ye-turret futhi yafakwa kuma-trunnions akhethekile. Idivayisi yokukhipha ifakwe emlonyeni wombhobho wesibhamu ukuze kuhlanzwe ibhore kanye nekesi le-cartridge kumagesi ayimpuphu ngemva kokudubula. Izikhali eziyinhloko zanezelwa izibhamu ezimbili ezingu-7,62-mm, enye yazo eyayibhangqwe nenganono, kanti eyesibili yafakwa epuleti lezempi elingaphambili. Isibhamu somshini esilwa nendiza esingu-12,7 mm sasibekwe ophahleni lombhoshongo. Izinhlamvu zezibhamu zazihlanganisa izibhamu ezihlangene, eziningi zazo ezazibekwe phansi kwethangi ngaphansi kwegumbi lokulwa, kanti ezinye zazikhishwa endaweni ephansi yezinhlamvu zabekwa ngakwesokunxele se-turret nasezinhlangothini ze-turret. indawo yokulwa. I-M46 Patton yayinesakhiwo sakudala: injini nokudluliselwa kwakungemuva kwemoto, indawo yokulwa yayiphakathi nendawo, futhi indawo yokulawula yayiphambi, lapho umshayeli nomsizi wakhe (naye wayengumshini). gun shooter) zitholakala. Engxenyeni yokulawula, amayunithi atholakala ngokukhululekile, okungenakushiwo mayelana negumbi lamandla, elihlelwe ngokuqinile kangangokuthi ukuze kukhishwe izihlungi zikaphethiloli, ukulungisa uhlelo lokuthungela, amajeneretha esevisi, ukushintsha amaphampu kaphethiloli nezinye izingxenye kanye emihlanganweni, kwakudingeka ukususa yonke ibhulokhi yesikhungo samandla kanye nokudlulisa. Leli lungiselelo labangelwa isidingo sokubeka endaweni yamandla amathangi amabili kaphethiloli anamandla amakhulu kanye nenjini ebalulekile kaphethiloli epholile engu-12-cylinder ye-Continental enohlelo lwamasilinda olumise okwe-V, olwakha amandla angu-810 hp. Nge. futhi inikeze ithrafikhi emgwaqeni onguthelawayeka enesivinini esikhulu esingu-48 km/h. Ukudluliswa kohlobo lwe-“Cross-Drive” yenkampani yakwa-Allison bekunama-hydraulic control drives futhi bekuyiyunithi eyodwa, ebihlanganisa u-gearbox oyinhloko, i-torque converter ehlanganisiwe, i-gearbox kanye nomshini wokuzungezisa. U-gearbox ubunamajubane amabili uma uya phambili (uhamba kancane futhi uyashesha) nesinye uma uhlehla. I-gearbox kanye nendlela yokujika yayilawulwa yi-lever eyodwa, eyayisebenza kokubili ukuguqula amagiya nokuphendula ithangi. I-undercarriage yethangi le-M46 ihluke kune-undercarriage ye-M26 eyandulelayo ngoba ku-M46, enye i-roller encane-diameter yafakwa phakathi kwamasondo okushayela kanye namasondo omgwaqo angemuva ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukushuba kwethrekhi njalo futhi kuvimbele ukuthi angawi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-absorbers okwesibili afakwe kumayunithi angaphambili amisiwe. Ingxenye esele ye-chassis ye-"Patton" yayifana ne-chassis ye-M26. Ithangi le-M46 lashintshwa ukuze lisebenze ngaphansi kwezimo eziphansi zokushisa futhi linemishini ekhethekile yokunqoba izithiyo zamanzi.
