What does a flexible strut tower brace do?

What does a flexible strut tower brace do?

The Flexible Tower Bar exerts its effect even at low speeds such as when a car is in reverse. It allows a driver to eliminate unnecessary steering maneuvers because they can control the car exactly as they intend to do.

How tight should a strut bar be?

Once the bar fits over the mounting hardware the adjustment should be locked “tight” and the strut bolts torqued to hold it in place. If you were to build your own bar you could make the whole thing measured to fix and one piece with no adjustments and it would work great.

Do strut bars reduce body roll?

Overall, strut bar provide great stability, reduce body roll and give better gripping to the vehicle ONLY during hard cornering.

How are struts used in a braced excavation?

A typical sequence of excavation in cross-lot braced excavations is shown in Figure 1. The struts rest on a series of wale beams that distribute the strut load to the diaphragm wall.

What is the preloading system for struts patent?

KR100738970B1 – Preloading system for strut – Google Patents The present invention relates to a loading system that makes it possible to suppress the deformation of the surrounding ground by applying a preceding load to the brace during the excavation of the ground using the brace.

Why are high preloads used in braced excavation?

Preloading in struts in braced excavation helps eliminate the potential movement. The application of preload decreases the shear stress in soils established previously by excavation. As a result of stiffening of soils, the soil movement is declined accordingly.

How is pre loading done on pipe struts?

Pre-loading ensures a rigid contact between interacting members and is accomplished by inserting a hydraulic jack as each side of an individual pipe strut between the wale beam and a special jacking pblate welded to the strut (Xanthakos, 1994).
