Quick disconnect coupling for mounting of the saw blade (Patent)
Tractive AB puts great emphasis on creating technical solutions for its products that are safe to use.
This is the most important criteria when our machines are designed.
The Pentruder 8-20HF / 8-20iQ is equipped with a patented quick disconnect coupling for the
saw blade. The intention with this coupling is primarily to enhance safety and handling. A unique
patented coupling for the blade flange enhances safety and simplifies awkward set-up’s
considerably, especially when flush cutting must be performed. The saw blade can always be
fitted after the machine is mounted, radially, and heavy and troublesome set-up’s can be
eliminated to a great extent.
Mounting a saw blade for flush cutting has always been relatively awkward and often one must
mount the saw head and the saw blade together, and it can be difficult to mount also a normal saw
blade for the upper or the lower cut, or even for vertical cuts if the available space is limited.
With the Pentruder’s quick disconnect coupling all these problems are gone. Provided the
operator is trained in the correct operation of the coupling it will provide considerable
improvement on both safety and efficiency.
