Problem:
Poor quality and wear can cause the Thrower Arm to function poorly or break.
- Excess wear can impede the thrower arm from opening the coupler knuckle
- Poor casting quality can create fit issues and prevent smooth operation of the coupler
- Poor material quality can cause premature failure of the thrower arm
Solution:
Pennsy’s line of Thrower Arms
To ensure proper function and universal fit in interchange, Pennsy’s line of Thrower Arms were designed using 3-D scans of a multitude of Throwers and Coupler bodies.
Thrower Arm dimensions and material properties are routinely checked to verify product conformity.
Results:
- Thanks to Pennsy’s database of scanned coupling components and quality control system, Pennsy avoids many of the fit issues found in the field
- Pennsy’s strict material controls prevent premature failures in the Thrower Arm
- All Pennsy products are clearly marked and identifiable
