Towing Shock Absorber ATA-9
-
Tension/Compression Shear - protects from excessive "pull" or "push" loads to nose gear.
-
Radial Shear - protects nose gear from excessive loads while turning. Attachment heads are made to break a shear pin if a safe turning load is exceeded; but head stays secured to towbar.
-
Dual Shear - attachment heads are made to break a shear pin if maximum turning load or straight overload limits are exceeded; but head stays secured to towbar.
-
Shear Protection: Some towheads will incorporate one of the shear formats, while others will incorporate tension/compression and/or radial shear protection.
-
All multi-head towbars incorporate a spring type shock absorber that protects the nose gear from shock loads encountered during normal towbar operation.
